Abstract

This chapter focuses on the power that citizens hold, when it comes to the decision making on wind turbines planning and implementation, in their hometown area. Basically, it covers the theoretical concepts related to the governance of renewable energy projects from the local communities’ perspective and involvement. Also, it illustrates the similarities and differences in two Greek geographic locations when it comes to citizen participation in the decision-making process. The results from the two selected areas in Greece are discussed and the conclusions reveal the empowerment that environmental communication can attribute to the local element of the sites where wind turbines are to be located.
