Goodbye SCCER-SoE!
After seven years, the moment has come for us to say goodbye to SCCER-SoE. We look back on intense, insightful and rewarding years and are proud of what we have achieved. A big thank you to our sponsor Innosuisse for making such a comprehensive and insightful project possible. And of course, thank you, our readers, for your interest in the project and also to everyone involved in the SCCER-SoE for your support and contributions!
The SCCER-SoE website will not be updated anymore. However, it will continue to provide access to all its contents (reports, blog articles etc.). December 2021

#25 How to promote public participation in energy projects - a holistic approach
October 2020 - by Franziska Ruef
Public participation is often brought forward as the solution to achieve social acceptance in energy projects. Despite its broad recognition, participation may be defined very differently depending on one’s perspective. This can lead to misunderstandings about the nature and scope of participative approaches, which can delay or even impede energy projects. Based on empirical evidence from the Genevan geothermal programme, we developed a holistic approach to design public participation.
