The article focuses on Denmark’s legislative approach to managing local opposition to renewable energy projects. It examines how Denmark uniquely combines economic incentives and rights tailored to renewable energy to mitigate local opposition, through schemes based on hedonic pricing principles. The article explores local concerns over renewable energy installations, the impact of these installations on property values and the effectiveness of financial compensation in promoting local acceptance. This is examined within the framework of energy justice theory, assessing the distributive and procedural justice aspects of the Danish model. The study incorporates a legal-sociological perspective, using feedback from preliminary consultation rounds on renewable energy projects and case law to assess the consistency of the Danish scheme with the theoretical framework. The article also highlights the challenges and ambiguities in the assessment and compensation process under the Danish scheme. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
