4th Stakeholder Meeting - Region of Western Greece

On Wednesday 11/12/2024, Western Greece Region, the Lead Partner of BIOWIND project, together with University of Patras organized the 4th stakeholder meeting with the participation of public authorities and representatives from the wind energy sector. The meeting took place on-site at the University of Patras Conference & Cultural Center, and virtually using ZOOM. Some of the main conclusions from the meeting were that (i) better and more direct communication channels could have a positive impact on the local communities’ views about wind farms, (ii) the financial benefits from nearby wind parks should be spent in a clear and transparent way by local municipalities. These benefits, combined with a better and continuous information of civil society, would increase the social acceptance.
