From resistance to acceptance: The Finnish model for successful energy projects

Finland is often cited as a place where strong engagement practices support the success of major energy projects – but how does this happen in practice? This panel explores how social acceptance has been built for initiatives ranging from energy networks to hydrogen investments, with experts from industry, regional development and research sharing concrete practices that foster trust, benefit-sharing and constructive dialogue.
