TY - JOUR AU - Nabielek, Pia AU - Dumke, Hartmut AU - Weninger, Kurt PY - 2018 DA - 2018/01/22 TI - Balanced renewable energy scenarios: a method for making spatial decisions despite insufficient data, illustrated by a case study of the Vorderland-Feldkirch Region, Vorarlberg, Austria JO - Energy, Sustainability and Society SP - 5 VL - 8 IS - 1 AB - An increasing production of renewable energy requires planning strategies that are able to coordinate the higher-level energy goals with local-level land use interests. While the spatial scope of energy objectives is usually set up on a federal state or national scale, decisions to allocate and implement renewable energy sites are often taken on a municipal scale. This leads to a lack of regional coordination, as the task to achieve a balanced regional energy demand and renewable energy production cannot be solved by individual municipalities alone and calls for cooperation on a regional level.
