By removing non-renewable energy sources from the energy system and replacing those with renewables such as wind and solar, the Netherlands hopes to do its part in limiting climate change. Because of the broad applicability of these two forms of renewable energy across different scales and structures, implementation is relatively fast and gaining in popularity. In opposition however is the increasing resistance against the largest solar park projects which are becoming more noticeable in the landscape. This thesis focuses on what municipalities can or should do in mitigating these effects as well as how to allow local inhabitants benefit more fairly from the energy transition currently taking place. date: 2019 date_type: published thesis_type: master degree_programme: EIP tutors_name: Kann, F.M.G. van keywords_local: Environmental Justice keywords_local: Solar power projects keywords_local: Transition theories keywords_local: Energy transition language_iso: en titleorder: Realizing solar power projects; a perspective on creating solar parks by the municipalities from the province of Groningen dbi: 5c764b5591c97 imported_item: yes date_of_import: 2020-04-22 imported_from: http://scripties.frw.eldoc.ub.rug.nl/root/ma/EIP/2019/rhgroenewold/ import_source_file: theses-frw-20200422132455-5c764b5591c97.xml date_issued: 2019-01-01 description_company: Faculteit Ruimtelijke Wetenschappen citation: Groenewold, R.H.
