We will present the latest research findings on the factors influencing the acceptability of energy projects, associated risks, and future prospects, based on the results of a nationwide survey of wind and solar power operators.

Following the presentation of the research findings, we will move on to practical examples. Project operators will share their experiences on how early-stage engagement has been strengthened and what lessons can be shared from these experiences:

• The arrival of the hydrogen plant project in Kristiinankaupunki – a place for negotiation
• Implementing community engagement for small-scale nuclear power in Helsinki in accordance with all the rules of the art
• Aligning the EIA program to strengthen the acceptability of a solar power project in Loviisa
