SUMMARY:Social Acceptability Webinar on April 20
DESCRIPTION:\nHow can I ensure social acceptance for my energy project?\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us to learn how Google and the City of Hamina ensure social acceptance for their energy projects. Kymen Sanomat explains what aspects of the projects interest the media and city residents.\n\n\n\n\n\nWebinar on the Social Acceptance of Projects: April 20, 2:00–3:00 p.m.\n\n\n\n\n\nProgram\n\n\n\n\n\nOpening Remarks \n\n\nCEO Jami Holtari, Finnish Hydrogen Valley Association\n\n\n\n\n\nJami Holtari will explain why social acceptability has become a critical factor in the success of energy projects and introduce the webinar’s experts.\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat project operators should consider in energy projects to ensure social acceptance – The Case of the Hamina Data Center\n\n\nOperations Director Olavi Kemppi, Google\n\n\n\n\n\nMajor industrial investments always change the local community. Google has been operating in Hamina for a long time and has built an active relationship with local stakeholders. In his presentation, Olavi Kemppi will discuss how an international company can earn its place in the community, how to communicate openly, and what concrete factors must be considered early on to ensure the project’s social acceptance.\n\n\n\n\n\nHow can a city prepare for an energy project so that its implementation goes smoothly?\n\n\nCity Architect Milla Koskivirta, City of Hamina\n\n\n\n\n\nThe municipality’s role in the energy transition is to act simultaneously as an enabler, a regulator, and an advocate for residents’ interests. Milla Koskivirta sheds light on the city’s perspective: how to align land-use planning, regulatory processes, and public discourse. The presentation explores how the city can anticipate future projects and create a communicative environment where projects, residents, and the evolving city of Hamina come together in harmony.\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat interests residents about energy projects?\n\n\nSociety Reporter, Antti Kaarto, Kymen Sanomat \n\n\n\n\n\nSociety Reporter Antti Kaarto brings the voice of residents and taxpayers to the event. What questions come up in the newsroom when major energy projects are announced? Is it concern for the environment, hope for new jobs, or fear of changes to their living environment? This discussion provides project developers and decision-makers with valuable insight into what matters to city residents and which questions they need to be able to answer honestly and clearly.\n\n\n\n\n\nDiscussion and Summary\n\n\nThe webinar will culminate in a group discussion where participants will have the opportunity to ask questions of the speakers.\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister for the webinar: tommi.siikaniva@vetylaakso.fi ( mailto:tommi.siikaniva@vetylaakso.fi )\n\n\nJoin the webinar:  https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/34038323807333?p=h4Nm3IHz2r9QOLv2yR ( https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/34038323807333?p=h4Nm3IHz2r9QOLv2yR )\n\n\n\n\n\nThe webinar will be recorded, so if you can’t join, you can watch it later on our website.\n\n\n\n\n\nNow is the time to join us!\n\n
