Journal Article
Holmes, T., De Laurentis, C., & Windemer, R. (2023). Where are low-carbon places made? Conceptualising and studying infrastructure junctions and the power geometries of low-carbon place-making. Norsk Geografisk Tidsskrift / Norwegian Journal of Geography, 77(3), 143-156. https://doi.org/10.1080/00291951.2023.2206407

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 th... Read More about Where are low-carbon places made?

Bristol advisory committee on climate change: One City climate strategy progress review - February 2023 (2023)
Report
Longhurst, J., Venn, A., Dietzel, A., Smith, B., Pettengell, C., Tudgey, D., …Clayton, W. (2023). Bristol advisory committee on climate change: One City climate strategy progress review - February 2023. https://thebaccc.files.wordpress.com/2023/04/baccc-occs-progress-review_final-26-april-2023.pdf: Bristol One City Office

This report from the Bristol Advisory Committee on Climate Change (BACCC) reviews citywide progress on tackling the climate crisis and concludes that, although there is some positive progress, the city is still way off meeting its 2030 carbon neutra...

Housing affordability in the South West of England (2023)
Report
Sinnett, D., Fouad, Z., McClymont, K., Hickman, H., Loveday, C., Hall, S., …Lamond, J. (2023). Housing affordability in the South West of England. https://homesforthesouthwest.co.uk: Homes for the South West

The South West faces acute problems of housing affordability. The region is conspicuously less affordable than England as a whole, and the North and Midlands in particular. These inter-regional disparities are becoming progressively more pronounced.... Read More about Housing affordability in the South West of England.

Acceptance should not be assumed. How the dynamics of social acceptance changes over time, impacting onshore wind repowering (2022)
Journal Article
Windemer, R. (2023). Acceptance should not be assumed. How the dynamics of social acceptance changes over time, impacting onshore wind repowering. Energy Policy, 173, 113363. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enpol.2022.113363

Local community acceptance is a key influence on wind farm siting decisions. However, there is a temporal limitation to much social acceptance literature in that it does not consider how perceptions of the local community may change over the operatio...

Repower to the people: The scope for repowering to increase the scale of community shareholding in commercial onshore wind assets in Great Britain (2022)
Journal Article
Philpott, A., & Windemer, R. (2022). Repower to the people: The scope for repowering to increase the scale of community shareholding in commercial onshore wind assets in Great Britain. Energy Research and Social Science, 92(October 2022), 102763. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.erss.2022.102763

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 infrast...

Considering time in land use planning: An assessment of end-of-life decision making for commercially managed onshore wind schemes (2019)
Journal Article
Windemer, R. (2019). Considering time in land use planning: An assessment of end-of-life decision making for commercially managed onshore wind schemes. Land Use Policy, 87, Article 104024. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.landusepol.2019.104024

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 ‘e...

End-of-life decision making for onshore wind and solar farms in Great Britain. Research findings and recommendations
Report
Windemer, R. (2021). End-of-life decision making for onshore wind and solar farms in Great Britain. Research findings and recommendations

In the context of a global transition to decarbonise the energy system and meet NetZero targets, expanding energy output from renewables is increasingly important. However, space for renewable energy infrastructure is limited and existing wind farms... Read More about End-of-life decision making for onshore wind and solar farms in Great Britain.
