"In 2016, more than half of Denmark’s installed wind capacity was owned by citizens, rather than private companies. This means that average citizens profit from, the transition to clean energy. This builds on a long tradition of energy co-operatives in Denmark. One key policy is the 2008 Promotion of Renewable Energy Act, which created a rule that new renewable projects must offer at least 20% ownership of the overall venture to local residents." https://australiainstitute.org.au/report/community-owned-wind-lessons-from-denmark/

"In Guyang-ri, a farming village of 70 households, people gather for communal free lunches six days a week. The meals are funded by the village’s one-megawatt solar installation, which generates roughly 10m won ($6,800) in net profit each month. Guyang-ri serves as the national prototype for South Korea’s rapidly expanding “solar income village” programme, which aims to reach 2,500 villages by 2030." https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/apr/16/south-korea-solar-power-renewables-revolution
