affected by the project. They recommended that compensation should be for the deployment of infrastructure itself and
for impacts on everyday life from construction work, such
as limited mobility. At the same time, they were also interested about possible benefits from the project. Stakeholders
saw an opportunity to provide benefits to local communities,
such as, for example, modernizing transport routes during
the construction period.
In the Stevin pilot, inhabitants were a requesting fair
distribution of costs and benefits. They were concerned that
the burden of the project would be on the shoulders of local
communities and the benefits will go to energy companies.
They were also requesting equal compensation for property
owners underneath new lines and under already existing
lines. Another request was that the project should provide
an added value for affected communities. Inhabitants were
suggesting the introduction of expropriation/compensation
rules similar to the rules existing in The Netherlands. Public
authorities were recommending providing alternative forms
of compensation such as funding of local projects, taxes on
pylons or fees based on the number of kilometers, as well as
further development of legal framework for compensation.
In the Bertikow-Pasewalk connection, the expressed concerns included compensation to peasant unions for impacts
of two lines, volumes of compensation, and compensation
in cases of impacts from several infrastructure projects
or a special discussion of cases when landowners already
received compensation for other infrastructure projects.
Other concerns included costs of the project and their possible distribution across the country instead of being a major
burden for the region and possibilities for compensation
measures regarding legally established protection areas.
Discussion
As Table 3 shows, even though pilot projects in BestGrid
were different in their nature, involving large and smallscale projects and underground and overhead lines, concerns were expressed in all projects and regarding all five
guiding principles.
Separate actions of TSOs were successful in addressing
issues of public and social acceptance. These actions targeted the guiding principle "need" and included different
forms of stakeholders' information events, such as roundtable discussions or information markets. The following
actions were positively perceived by stakeholders: provision
of detailed maps about alternatives of corridors, possibility
for dialogue with TSO employees on important stakeholder
questions, as well as involvement of local NGOs for the organization and moderation of information events. The entire
BestGrid process was also successful in addressing the guiding principle "need." However, this has to be seen against the
background of the political circumstances in the respective
table 3. Concerns according to the guiding principles.
