Reviews
'Anyone interested in a more democratic and sustainable energy future sooner or later looks to Scandinavia and the ""community wind"" models first developed there a quarter century ago. Though Denmark’s experience typically garners more attention, this book demonstrates that Sweden’s story is no less compelling: long before ""crowdfunding"" was all the rage, Swedes were experimenting with various windpower ownership models designed to facilitate investment in the fledgling wind industry. This book deftly describes how these models work, how they’ve evolved over time, and the challenges they face as the wind industry matures.' – Mark Bolinger, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, USA 'Windpower Ownership in Sweden: Business Models and Motives, the new book by Tore Wizelius helps English-speakers understand how Swedes have taken a sizable ownership of wind energy in spite of their government. In this, his book can serve as an inspiration to community wind advocates worldwide who face many of the same challenges faced in Sweden.' - Paul Gipe, Renewable Energy Industry Analyst
