In this webinar, Dr. Louise Comeau presents a summary of our findings on public perceptions of factors influencing social acceptance of renewable energy and transmission projects in communities. This research was developed using seven focus groups in March 2022. A number of energy-related topics were included in the discussion. These ranged from factors that would encourage and discourage residents in a community in allowing renewable energy projects to be developed in their community, to benefits expected from such a project to finally, a review of several arguments designed to encourage the development of renewable energy and transmission lines.
