In Episode 23 of Power Players by Origis®, host Glenna Wiseman, Head of Marketing and Communications for Origis Energy and Joe Rand, Energy Policy Researcher in the Energy Markets and Policy Department at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, discuss engaging communities when developing renewable energy projects.
Three key takeaways:
- Community opposition is not a fringe or minor concern and must be addressed by developers.
- Developers who see the bigger picture and engage with local communities improve the landscape for themselves for later projects and others in additional communities to help the US meet renewable energy goals.
- Engaging communities improves the bottom line for developers.
