When the turbines stop
Wind farms reaching their end of technical, or consent life, are increasing. One of the biggest emerging environmental sustainability issues faced by countries globally is what to do with this ageing infrastructure. This is an urgent issue across Europe and a challenge for countries such as Italy, where about 50 % of the country wind capacity is expected to reach end-of-life by 2030. As wind industry actors, governments and academics seek to iden…
Planning for the Future of Onshore Wind Farms through Adopting a Broader Temporal Approach
Onshore wind farms are reaching the end of their operational or consent life and we need to consider how to plan for the future. This paper draws upon detailed empirical data from four UK case studies to understand the range and impact of changes that occur over the life of operational wind farms, including economic, policy, landscape and community changes and how these changes impact decisions regarding the future. In doing so it reveals the cha…
Where are low-carbon places made? Conceptualising and studying infrastructure junctions and the power geometries of low-carbon place-making
The making of low-carbon places is crucial for achieving decarbonisation, but where are such places made? In extending and combining existing research and ideas, the authors take electricity networks as their starting point to study what they term three ‘infrastructure junctions’, which are places where various practices and processes, with material, spatial, and temporal features, collide and combine in ways that shape the power geometries of lo…
Repower to the people
Internationally, commercial onshore wind farms are starting to reach the end of their operational or consent life, posing a new and mounting challenge with potentially dramatic permutations for the sector. Replacing existing turbines with new infrastructure through repowering has the potential to significantly increase the installed capacity of existing onshore wind sites without also increasing the footprint of development. However, local commun…
Are the impacts of wind energy reversible? Critically reviewing the research literature, the governance challenges and presenting an agenda for social science
Considering time in land use planning
Despite its ostensible future orientation, research on land use planning has given relatively little consideration to temporality, either empirically or conceptually. The need for analytical advances becomes clear when considering the treatment of ‘end-of-life’ issues for renewable energy facilities like onshore wind. Expanding renewables is central to sustainable energy futures yet land use regulation often treats consents as ‘temporary’, raisin…
