A European consensus
for faster and fairer renewables
About the initiative
The Fast & Fair Renewables and Grids Initiative is a European coalition of stakeholders across the energy sector advocating for the faster and fairer deployment of renewables and grids infrastructure.
Our vision is to help achieve Europe’s climate ambitions by accelerating the energy transition, and boosting the rollout of renewables with fairer outcomes for all.
A common approach for fairer renewables
The Fast & Fair Renewables & Grids Initiative is rooted in a European consensus between developers, local governments, civil society and industry actors on how to enable fairer renewables projects, with greater community support.
The five consensus-based principles of the initiative call for renewables to strengthen local economies, build synergies between energy transition and biodiversity protection, and engage stakeholders meaningfully.
A framework for fairness in renewables
The principles aims to ease barriers to renewables deployment, that stem from how fairly a project is implemented; they outline for stakeholders to achieve fairer outcomes for all through RES deployment.
With the right strategies in place, renewables infrastructure deployment can contribute to local economies by creating value for local communities, enhance support by engaging stakeholders from the outset, and ameliorate environmental costs by creating synergies between climate action, and biodiversity protection.
Check out the principles, and the best practice examples that illustrate how centering fairness is key to transform the European energy landscape.
