澳大利亚正面临能源危机，煤炭电厂老化和能源账单上升推动了大规模可再生能源和输电基础设施建设的必要性1。然而，研究表明仅有建设能力还不够，与当地社区建立信任和实现共同参与才是能源转型成功的关键1。
对2024年1月至2025年5月间西澳大利亚州三个社区的在线讨论分析显示，社区对可再生能源项目的态度复杂多变，并非简单的支持或反对，而是取决于咨询透明度、利益分配和当地就业等具体条件1。其中Busselton社区主要关切土地使用、房产价值和景观视觉效果；Kojonup关注就业和财务公平性；而已运营20多年风电场的Albany则持积极态度1。
国际经验提供了可借鉴的模式。苏格兰政府建议风电开发商每兆瓦年支付最低£5000（约A$9500）纳入社区基金1，而作为全球风能发展领导者的丹麦建立了能源合作社，允许居民拥有可再生能源项目股份1。在Albany的案例中，该地风电场供应该市80%的年电力需求，年吸引约20万游客，示范了可再生能源项目与当地经济效益的结合1。
Australia must rapidly scale renewable energy and transmission infrastructure to address aging coal power plants and rising energy bills 1. However, building the necessary infrastructure is only half the solution—gaining community trust and support is equally essential to the energy transition's success 1.
Research examining online discussions from three Western Australian communities between January 2024 and May 2025 reveals that local attitudes toward renewable energy projects are far more nuanced than simple support or opposition 1. Instead, community acceptance hinges on specific conditions including transparency in consultation, fair distribution of benefits, and local employment opportunities 1. The three communities studied—Busselton, Kojonup, and Albany—demonstrated distinct priorities: Busselton residents focused primarily on land use, property values, and landscape aesthetics, while Kojonup emphasized employment opportunities and financial fairness 1. Albany, which has operated wind farms for over two decades and supplies 80 percent of the city's annual electricity demand while attracting approximately 200,000 visitors annually, maintained a more positive stance toward renewable projects 1.
International models offer practical pathways for building community support. Scotland's government recommends that wind developers contribute a minimum of £5,000 (approximately A$9,500) per megawatt annually to community funds 1. Denmark, a global leader in wind energy development, has established energy cooperatives that allow residents to own shares in renewable energy projects 1. These approaches demonstrate that establishing trust and enabling genuine community participation are key to achieving successful energy transformation 1.
