Abstract
This contribution describes the current attitudes of potential investors towards community financing of renewable energy projects. Based on a representative survey of more than 2,000 respondents, conducted in Austria and in French- and German-speaking parts of Switzerland in 2015, the study identified four types of potential investors depending on their location (urban vs. rural) and social acceptance of wind energy.
