Motivation

We often hear complaints on wind or solar projects where residents express dissatisfaction about having wind turbines or solar panels in their backyard. I believe that by engaging citizens in the process and giving them ownership of such projects, there will be higher acceptance and accelerate the green transition. The approach demonstrated in AURORA, especially in Aarhus, proves that we can bring citizens to the table and make decisions that benefit the local community.
