Abstract

This study uses data from a vignette experiment (n = 401) of large-scale agricultural landowners in western Canada to quantify attributes that enhance acceptance of wind farms on their land or in their municipality. The analysis addresses the role of community relationships and procedural fairness in the development of wind power. Random effects models indicate that landowners are more accepting of wind power if such projects include local or cooperative ownership, compensation payments to neighboring landowners, and community involvement in the development process. Results suggest that perceived injustices could be lessened if fairness considerations extended beyond monetary gain.
