Communication & Citizen Engagement

Communication & Citizen Engagement for Renewable Projects

Involving communities, facilitating dialogue, and promoting acceptance for renewable energy projects.

Overview: Developing and implementing communication strategies, organising information events and workshops to enhance local acceptance through neighbourhood communication and dialogue.

Tailored communication strategies, moderation of information events, and participatory formats to strengthen local acceptance and minimise resistance.

The Communication and Community Engagement Service from Orocon RE enables communities to interact effectively with the public during renewable energy projects. Clear, structured communication reduces misunderstandings, builds trust, and encourages public support. By designing tailored strategies, our team ensures that information reaches residents in a transparent, accessible, and inclusive manner.

Our experts work with councils to identify key stakeholders, community concerns, and potential communication barriers. Orocon Renewable Energy develops messages, content, and engagement tools that clearly explain the project's goals, benefits, timelines, and potential impacts. This proactive approach encourages informed participation and reduces resistance to local renewable energy initiatives.

We also organise public events and workshops to assist communities in engaging in a two-way dialogue with residents. Whether it’s an open day, neighbourhood consultation, or technical presentation, our team ensures the process is structured, fair, and conducive to constructive input. By capturing feedback, communities can address concerns early and improve project design and long-term community satisfaction.

Finally, our service integrates digital and traditional communication channels, enabling communities to reach a wide audience efficiently. From social media campaigns to printed materials, Orocon RE ensures consistent, professional, and engaging communication that strengthens local acceptance and supports sustainable project implementation.
