The energy and climate crises are driving renewable energy, but it is currently facing obstacles in leading countries. Balancing environmental, social economic interests has become complex at the regional level due to spatial trade-offs a contested space. To investigate stakeholder willingness compromise on joint ranking wind solar sites, multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) planning support was explored. Using two-part survey, four groups were identified: ‘advocates’ who satisfied with site (66%), ‘realists’ willing despite previous disagreement (13%), ‘dissenters’ not accepting (35%), ‘dogmatists’ engaging. Planning decisions engagement underpinned by distinct attitudes towards role of (democratic) sustainable development. use trade-off can ensure transparency trace back making decisions. However, quality factors also need be considered thorough reflection.

The energy system in Germany consists of a large number distributed facilities, including millions PV plants, wind turbines, and biomass plants. To understand manage this efficiently, accurate reliable information about all facilities is essential. In Germany, the Marktstammdatenregister (MaStR) serves as central registry for units system. reliability data critical registry's usefulness, but few validation studies have been published. work we provide review existing literature that relies on from MaStR thereby show importance. We then build testing pipeline relevant registry, with focus two aspects facility's location size. All test results are published online reproducible workflow. Hence, contributes to foundation German starts an open process academic perspective.
