This report presents the results from the stakeholder engagement activities at the pilot site in Karmøy (municipality in Rogaland county), Norway, using interactive collaborative tools and methods. Across three days and six workshop sessions in May 2025, 92 stakeholders engaged in an immersive 3D planning game, created mental models and participated in semi-structured interviews related to local wind energy planning.

The tools and methods are shown to be positively received by participants and foster discussions on the dilemmas and trade-offs in energy infrastructure planning. Environmental concerns were found to be important to avoid from both the mental models activity and the 3D planning game. The semi-structured interviews indicate that project ramifications, such as the number/height of wind turbines and municipal financial participation (among other things), influence local attitudes.
