Abstract :

[fr] Le développement éolien terrestre en Belgique se heurte régulièrement à des contestations locales. Face à ce problème, les coopératives éoliennes semblent présenter des atouts essentiels. Cet article explique, dans un premier temps, pourquoi ces organisations sont susceptibles de renforcer l’acceptabilité sociale de cette technologie. Dans un second temps, il confronte ces hypothèses normatives à la réalité de données empiriques. Les résultats de cette analyse confirment l’effet positif de la propriété coopérative sur l’acceptabilité sociale de l’éolien terrestre.
[en] Onshore wind power development in Belgium has provoked considerable opposition at the local level. To cope with this issue, wind power cooperatives seem to present important assets. This article explores the reasons why these organizations are likely to enhance social acceptability of this technology. Then it confronts these normative assumptions with empirical data. The results of this analysis confirm the positive effect of cooperative ownership on the social acceptability of onshore wind turbines.
