“…The concept of 'energy system transformation' was made discursive by a book from the Öko-Institut Freiburg in 1980 entitled "Energiewende: Growth and prosperity without oil and uranium" [58]. With the introduction of the Electricity Supply Act of 1990, the systematic expansion of renewable energies began, the Renewable Energy Sources Act in 2000 accelerated the expansion and the phase-out of nuclear energy, approved in the same year, making the expansion of renewable energies even more urgent [15,59,60] whereby nuclear power plant operators were granted an extension of the operating life of nuclear power plants in 2010 of 8 years (for older) and 14 years (for younger) [53,61,62]. Following the reactor disaster in Fukushima (Japan) in March 2011, it was decided to phase-out nuclear power as part of the energy supply by 2022, but the targets for implementing energy system transformation are more ambitious: renewable energies are to account for 40-45% of gross electricity consumption by 2025 and 55-60% by 2035 [63].…”

On the basis of Karl Popper’s Three Worlds Theory, a theoretical approach to landscape can be derived, which includes the physical foundations of landscape (Landscape 1), the individual construction and emotions drawn from and placed upon landscape (Landscape 2), and social conventions regarding landscape (Landscape 3). These three landscape dimensions are connected via Landscape 2, which also provides an approach for the systematic investigation of the relations between the dimensions. Ralf Dahrendorf’s conflict theory in turn serves as a theoretical framework for when the different connections develop in a conflictual way and how these can be regulated. Dahrendorf sees a principled productivity of conflicts, providing they are settled fairly. On the basis of the conditions he has developed for just such a conflict settlement, the implementation of the energy system transformation is examined against the background of its consequences for the landscape, with the result that essential conditions for an orderly settlement of conflicts are not fulfilled, thereby contributing to the polarization of society.

“…Despite efforts to reduce electricity consumption by increasing efficiency, the energy transition is and will be associated with significant changes in physical spaces. With energy transition to renewables, electricity supply is no longer generated by centralized large-scale power plants and then distributed via a hierarchically-tiered transmission system; instead, the generation of electric power, particularly in wind power, photovoltaic and biomass plants, is decentralized and requires not only facilities for storing energy but also a revised structure of the transmission network, which not least poses major challenges for spatial planning [12][13][14][15].…”

Energy transition plays a central role in efforts to reduce anthropogenic global warming. However, energy transition involves physical manifestations, for example in the form of wind turbines, photovoltaic plants, and power lines, which trigger resistance, especially among those who live in the vicinity of the (planned) plants. The reasons for this resistance are complex, as they relate to residents’ emotional ties and/or stereotypical common-sense expectations of landscape. The complexity of landscape conflicts in general, and energy transition-related conflicts in particular, makes it difficult to capture the intricacy of the subject matter by means of a single theoretical perspective. To address this difficulty, a neopragmatic approach of identifying and combining appropriate theoretical perspectives is utilized to develop an analytic framework for understanding these conflicts. To this end, we draw on Dahrendorf’s conflict theory and the framing approach. Both have high complementary explanatory potential and empirical applicability, with the framing approach broadening the theoretical prism to include micro-individuals and groups to Dahrendorf’s meso-social perspective.
