Researchers and practitioners explored the efficacy of where and how siting decisions are made and approaches to planning and community engagement that would best support just decision-making and accelerate clean energy deployment.
The challenges of building clean energy projects have shifted from technical and economic toward a complex mix of social and institutional barriers. A growing number of communities are saying “no” to building new projects, calling into question whether current siting policies and engagement practices will be able to support the several-fold increase in clean energy needed to meet U.S. goals.
During this PowerCasts program, Redefining Siting: Bridging Planning, Policy, and Practice, researchers and practitioners explored the efficacy of where and how siting decisions are made and approaches to planning and community engagement that would best support just decision-making and accelerate clean energy deployment.
