This study provides evidence of how local residents respond to the announcement of transmission line corridor route alternatives (TLCRAs). By means of a natural experiment, it estimates the causal effects of spatial proximity to proposed TLCRAs during the planning phase of an energy project. The results reveal that proximity significantly enhanced residents' risk perceptions with respect to landscape deterioration, property/house value reduction, and damages to human health. We also found that increasing proximity decreased residents' support for grid expansion and increased the likelihood of performing information seeking behavior and becoming a member of a local citizens' initiative.

This study contributes to filling this gap by comparing residents' risk expectations, attitudes, and protest behavior observed at two grid expansion sites in Germany by means of a quasi-experiment. At the time when the data were collected, both grid expansion projects-an overhead line project in Lower Saxony and an underground cable project in Hesse-were at the same stage of the legally defined planning and approval procedure. After controlling for various potential confounders, we obtained results revealing that there are no differences in the risk expectations, attitudes, and protest behavior of residents interviewed at the two project sites, or only marginal ones.

Protest varies due to attributes of the transmission lines (e.g., length and size), site-specific characteristics, and the extent of consternation among local residents. The most controversially discussed grid expansion project in Germany is the SuedLink, which has been causing severe protest among groups of local residents. One driver of public opposition is the existence of local citizens' initiatives. These groups play an important role, for example by influencing the public debate, taking legal action, or mobilizing their members and other citizens into protest. In doing so, they can cause delays due to confrontational planning and approval procedures. In order to deal with these risks, decision-makers need to know about the actual effects of citizens' initiatives on public protest. So far, however, empirical research on these effects has been sparse. This study contributes to filling this gap by considering one specific aspect of the influence of citizens' initiatives. It isolates the causal effects of citizens' initiative membership on members' individual protest behavior in the context of the SuedLink. Controlling for various potential confounders, our results clearly indicate that the probability of performing protest behavior and the intensity of protest are substantially larger for members of citizens' initiatives than for non-members.}, language = {en} } @article{MuellerKeil2019, author = {M{\"u}ller, Christoph E. and Keil, Silke I.}, title = {Measuring perceived procedural fairness in the context of power grid expansion: A Rasch modeling approach}, series = {International Journal of Energy Sector Management}, journal = {International Journal of Energy Sector Management}, publisher = {Emerald}, address = {Bingley}, issn = {1750-6220}, doi = {10.1108/IJESM-02-2019-0002}, pages = {23}, year = {2019}, abstract = {Purpose - Governments and energy operators are often confronted with opposition to the construction of new high-voltage transmission lines. Besides other factors, a potential determinant of public opposition and acceptance that has gained increasing attention is the fairness of the planning and approval procedure as perceived by the citizens. The purpose of this study is to develop and validate a scale for measuring perceived procedural fairness (PPF). Design/methodology/approach - The authors developed the ten-item "perceived procedural fairness scale (PPFS)" and assessed its quality by means of item response theory. By using a Rasch rating scale model, the authors tested whether the instrument met the requirements of this kind of measurement model. For conducting their research, the authors used data from two telephone surveys in Germany that were collected in areas that are affected by grid expansion. Findings - The findings suggest that the scale can be considered a reliable and internal valid instrument for measuring citizens' PPF. Originality/value - At the moment, there is no psychometrically rigorously evaluated scale available for measuring PPF in the context of power grid expansion. Therefore, the study contributes to filling this gap and provides a valuable tool for researchers and practitioners concerned with further investigating citizens' PPF and its relationships with other relevant constructs in the field.
