Abstract
Onshore wind parks in Norway have been faced with some opposition by local communities where they are deployed. In this talk, I will discuss preliminary findings from two case studies in Norway, Haramsøya and Øyfjellet, with an emphasis on local actors’ perceptions, particularly those associated with elements of justice.
