  3. 7. The contribution of wind farms to sustainably developing local communities

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionen

    Author : Macha Epp; [2020]
    Keywords : wind farms – community acceptance – creating shared value – local stakeholders – Russian Arctic – regional development; Business and Economics;

    Abstract : While renewable energy output in the World increases, Russia shows an opposite trend, consisting of a highly engrained fossil fuel-driven economy with very little State priority towards diversifying its energy supply. Accordingly, although wind energy represents only a niche market, it is more economically viable to electrifying Northern peripheral communities than connecting them to the national grid; providing more efficient, reliable, cheaper, and cleaner energy supply to the end-consumer.
