“…The literature presents many different frameworks of conducting multi-stakeholder engagement for infrastructure planning (Tompkins et al 2008, Gardner et al 2009, Herman et al 2014, Mok et al 2015, Bourne 2016, Cuppen et al 2016. A 'one size fits all' approach for multi-stakeholder engagement does not exist, since it is highly dependent on the decision context and planning stage (Rountree et al 2021). Moreover, there are discrepancies around the exact definition of a 'stakeholder' (Carney et al 2009).…”

“…Further, what is the appropriate mechanism of and limits to stakeholder engagement, to ensure deliberations are not unduly sidetracked or prolonged at each step? These questions have been more thoroughly explored in the water sector than in the electricity sector, and evidence exists that insights from this work are not necessarily transferable between resource contexts (Rountree et al 2021). More foundational work is therefore needed here.…”

Climate change poses signiﬁcant risks to large-scale infrastructure systems and brings considerable uncertainties that challenge historical planning approaches. Here we focus on how climate awareness might be better incorporated into planning and decision-making in the electric power sector. To do so, we consider lessons from decision science literature where researchers have speciﬁcally focused on how to make better decisions under uncertainty. We perform a three-part review: of decision science literature on best practices for decision-making under uncertainty, of industry practice documents to understand how new uncertainties may aﬀect the types of decisions electric utilities are making today, and of literature on electricity sector planning under climate change to assess how lessons from decision science might ﬁt into sector-speciﬁc analyses. We discuss how characterizations of uncertainty from the decision science literature might guide approaches in the electricity sector to appropriately capture climate-related uncertainties. We also distill three key ideas from the decision science literature that can be incorporated into electricity sector planning to manage these new uncertainties: robustness, adaptive planning, and multi-stakeholder engagement. We oﬀer example recommendations for how these key ideas might be incorporated into one essential type of planning activity, capacity expansion.

“…Although many authors have criticized and pointed out the exaggeration of the NIMBY syndrome [14,[69][70][71][72], many authors continue to study this phenomenon without denying its scale and the very fact of its existence [73][74][75], also in relation to renewable energy sources [62,63,76,77]. The NIMBY syndrome is also being studied for social behavior research in the era of the global COVID-19 pandemic [78,79].…”

Attitudes of Communities in Rural Areas towards the Development of Wind Energy

The objective of the study was to demonstrate attitudes towards wind energy facilities in the area of the Korsze Commune. The results of the study were processed using structure indices calculated from the respondents’ answers, which were analyzed in terms of social and economic factors. The study revealed that both the NIMBY syndrome and the lack of civic engagement influence attitudes towards renewable energy technologies in rural areas. The NIMBY (“not in my backyard”) term describes negative public attitudes towards proposed development projects. However, some trends towards more pronounced attitudes can be observed, depending on socioeconomic conditions. The research results imply that the measures taken to promote renewable energy technologies should be designed differently depending on the socioeconomic situation of the targeted audience. Young people might be reached via social media appropriate to their age, and through campaigns promoting local investments. For older people, traditional ways of communication can be used, but the information transmitted should include specific benefits for the whole society as well as for individual households. The conducted research revealed that, despite the fact that many authors deny the occurrence of NIMBY syndrome in relation to the wind energy, the NIMBY problem has occurred in the Korsze Commune. The biggest challenge in the survey was the unwillingness of the residents to participate in it, which only confirms the lack of social involvement.
