“…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.
