Fremtidens Havvind – Utfordringer og muligheter for regional verdiskaping på Agder
2023
Utbygging av havvind posisjoneres som fremtidens fornybare energikilde i Norge og globalt. Internasjonale, nasjonale og regionale aktører posisjonerer nå Agder, som nøkkelregion for den norske havvindsatsningen. Hvis havvindsatsningen skal bidra til fornybar energi, er vi også nødt til å forstå hvilke utfordringer og muligheter det skaper i de kystregioner, som skal bidra til utbyggingen til havs. Det er også behov for å utforske miljø-, styrings- og fordelingsmessige betingelser og modeller for havvindsatsingen i Agder. Universitet i Agder inviterte sammen med Fremtidens Havvind og Agder fylkeskommune til regionalt dialogseminar 12. Januar 2023 i Mandal. Det var 60 deltakere fra offentlig …
Renewable energy for sustainable rural development: synergies and mismatches
2020
Abstract Energy transition is increasingly regarded as a promising opportunity for the economic development of rural areas. This possibility is associated with the siting and (co-)ownership of decentralized (small-scale) renewable energy facilities. The underlying productive link, however, has been taken for granted, rather than conceptually and practically cultivated. Thus, while renewable energy-based rural development has been stated as a desired by-product of energy transitions, its potential has remained largely unfulfilled. This review aims to illuminate the ambiguous interplay between renewable energy and rural development in the context of the current trajectories of the energy tran…
The good process or the great illusion? A spatial perspective on public participation in Danish municipal wind turbine planning
2021
This paper explores the nature of public participation in Danish municipal wind power planning. Although the procedure for involving citizens embedded in the environmental impact assessment (EIA) procedure for wind power projects is often praised for its participatory character, the approach is not without problems. In this paper, we identify the limitations and potentials of the public space provided for citizen involvement. By means of Gaventa’s terminology suggesting a continuum of public spaces for participation, the paper shows how the planning process can be approached from different spatial perspectives – each of them illuminating different forms of power, resistance and opportunitie…
Sustainable rural development and rural energy communities in a post-Brexit UK
2022
Rural areas have become increasingly important for sustainable energy transition, mainly as a resource for the production of renewable energy. However, rural areas do not merely provide the land for harnessing renewable energy, such as wind energy, for the benefit of urban growth centres. In turn, both the rural economy and livelihood of rural communities are variously affected by an increased utilisation of renewable resources, too. This chapter will focus on the interrelationship between rural areas and the development of renewable energy in the UK. In doing so, it will first shed light on how the interplay between renewable energy and rural areas has been governed in the UK, with a parti…
