Renewable developers use community benefit schemes to make projects appealing. But this has to be done carefully.
Ørsted’s cancellation of Hornsea 4 bodes ill for the UK’s 2030 clean power target.
The scale of the challenge of hitting Australia’s renewable energy target points to the need for a more standardised and inclusive approach to sharing the benefits than we have seen so far.
Residents of a small Northern Cape town in South Africa were left disappointed after their lives did not improve dramatically when a wind power farm was built.
The energy transition requires the development of new infrastructure, which can have adverse effects on the environment and on certain communities.
