🌬️ Increasing Social Acceptance of Wind Energy 🌍 A recent survey by Interreg Europe, an interregional cooperation programme co-funded by the European Union, sheds light on challenges facing wind energy projects. Despite wind energy contributing 17% to the EU27+UK's power demand by 2022, #publicacceptance varies due to concerns like aesthetics, wildlife impact, noise, and land use changes. To enhance acceptance, policymakers advocate for community engagement, equitable benefit sharing, and rigorous #environmental assessments. Different projects in EU's coutries, demonstrate successful community-owned and environmentally conscious models.

That’s an entire neighborhood—sustained purely by the power of wind. 🔍 Imagine scaling this up: 🟡 Communities reducing their reliance on fossil fuels  🟡 A cleaner, greener future driven by renewable energy This is the kind of impact we need more of. 🌍💪 Together, we can 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗮 𝘀𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗹𝗹, one turbine at a time. 🌱 #WindPower #ClimateAction #ORIONProject #Innovation #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #EnergyInnovation #CleanEnergy #DigitalTransformation #EUProjects #HorizonEurope

We are thinking about environmental challenges that the pastoral industry in Australia is facing…one thing Renewables energy cost reduction savings do, is go straight to the bottom line creating financial efficiencies for the business...longer term the challenge is about achieving ‘zero positive’ operations… Zero positive raises the question of whether or not a business can go beyond NetZero by not only neutralising emissions but actually contributing to a net reduction in global carbon levels?

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Shetland is harnessing the power of 🌱 #decarbonisation technologies to create new opportunities for locals and ensure no one is left behind. Sarah McArthur reports in FORESIGHT Climate & Energy how this remote archipelago, located 170 kilometres northeast of the Scottish mainland, relies heavily on local resources due to its isolation. Historically dependent on oil and gas, Shetland is now embracing a greener future. With impressive innovations like district heating networks, the world’s first offshore tidal array, and the upcoming Viking wind farm, Shetland is leading the charge in 💨 #RenewableEnergy. The electric 🔌 #grid’s role in integrating these renewables is crucial. However, for this energy transition to succeed, engaging and empowering local communities is essential. Shetland’s transition from 🛢️ #FossilFuels to renewables is not just about energy; it’s about creating a sustainable economy that benefits everyone. Local expertise and infrastructure, honed through years of oil and gas operations, are now being leveraged to attract renewable 💡 #energy projects, including wind and hydrogen production. Douglas Irvine of the Shetland Islands Council emphasises, “We need to concentrate most of our efforts on what happens here locally.” As Shetland moves towards a decarbonised future, the community’s involvement will be pivotal in driving this transformation. 🗞️ Read the full article to dive deeper into the ⚙️ #JustTransition in Shetland 👉 https://lnkd.in/dhgD8EsJ

Before a wind farm can rise to harness the power of nature, the groundwork must first be laid—literally. 🌿 This video offers a glimpse into the early stages of the Urleasca Wind Farm project, where careful preparation of the land sets the foundation for a cleaner, more sustainable future. Every great achievement starts with a single step, and in our case, it starts with moving earth to build a future powered by renewable energy. It’s a reminder that progress often requires patience, dedication, and the courage to see beyond the present. At Energy Asset Investment, we believe that every effort made today is an investment in tomorrow—a greener, brighter tomorrow for all of us. 🌍 #renewableenergy #windpower #UrleascaWindFarm #EnergyAssetInvestment #sustainablefuture #greenenergy #cleanenergy #infrastructure #climateaction #motivation #sustainability #progress

"Renewable energy is critical for combating climate change. We need innovation and investment in clean technologies to create a more sustainable world" ~ Bill Gates Welcome to episode 06 of our groundbreaking series "Sustainable Journeys." Today, we delve into the Nolin Hills Power Project of #US - a game-changing Solar Project at the forefront of sustainable energy innovation. We're thrilled to unveil the #Nolin #Hills #Solar #Power #Project, a monumental leap towards a cleaner, greener future! Located in Umatilla County, Oregon, this project spans a staggering 48,196 acres and is set to generate an impressive 600 MW (340 MW from wind and 260 MW from solar) power. With a whopping $1 billion backing, it's not just a project, it's a testament to the power of investing in a greener, brighter tomorrow. But it's not just about numbers; it's about impact. The Nolin Hills Power Project aligns perfectly with U.S. federal tax incentives like the Renewable Electricity Production Tax Credit (PTC), Investment Tax Credit (ITC), Residential Energy Credit, and Modified Accelerated Cost-Recovery System (MACRS). These incentives, coupled with recent legislation such as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the Inflation Reduction Act, are driving historic investments in clean energy solutions nationwide. This isn't just a project; it's a movement towards a sustainable future where rural communities thrive, and access to affordable clean energy expands. Join the conversation and share your thoughts below if you've invested in renewable energy projects. Let's power up the world together! 🌍💡 Stay tuned for more enlightening episodes as we explore the sustainable frontiers and pave the way for a brighter tomorrow. 🌎🔆 #NolinHillsPowerProject #SolarEnergy #RenewableEnergy #CleanTech #GreenFuture #Sustainability #InfrastructureInvestment #CleanEnergyRevolution #LinkedInPost

The Western Solar Plan is set to transform solar energy development in Wyoming and other western states! 🌞 With 31.7 million acres of federal land opening up for solar projects, including 3.8 million acres in Wyoming, this initiative not only addresses climate change but also aims to boost local economies and create jobs. While the plan has received positive feedback for its potential economic benefits, it also raises important questions about environmental conservation. Balancing renewable energy growth with ecological protection will be key as we move forward into a cleaner energy future! 🌱 #SolarEnergy #RenewableResources #Wyoming https://lnkd.in/exHYgnms #SolarPower #RenewableEnergy #GreenTech #SustainableLiving #EcoFriendlyInnovation
