On Wednesday 11/12/2024, University of Patras and PROMEA organized the “AIII.2 workshop” with the participation of public authorities and representatives from the wind energy sector. The meeting took place on-site at the University of Patras Conference & Cultural Center, and virtually using ZOOM. Some of the main conclusions from the meeting were that (i) better and more direct communication channels could have a positive impact on the local communities’ views about wind farms, (ii) the financial benefits from nearby wind parks should be spent in a clear and transparent way by local municipalities. These benefits, combined with a better and continuous information of civil society, would increase the social acceptance.
After the completion of all workshops a detailed report with the lessons learnt will be shared, stay tuned!
