The transition to renewable energy sources is necessary to assure a sustainable future for current and future generations and ecosystems on our planet. But while there is growing recognition {if not consensus) on the need for these alternative sources of energy, there is an ongoing debate amongst experts and societal actors on how, where and by whom renewable energy systems should be designed, planned and managed. Wind energy is a case in point. Perhaps one of the most controversial forms of renewable energy, due to the perceived visual and ecological impacts of turbines of land and seascapes, debate centres around how and by whom both problems around wind energy are defined and implemented through design, planning and management. This means that the challenge of energy transitions is not merely an issue of developing and deploying renewable energy technologies, but a fundamentally social challenge of aligning what is technically possible with what is 'acceptable' to diverse and often increasingly polarised societies. Yet despite the recognition given to incorporating both expert and societal perspectives into the design and management of wind energy, much of the debate remains highly technical in nature.The question of enabling more inclusive forms of wind energy governance, to ensure both just and sustainable energy transitions across landscapes, is of great contemporary importance. Nevertheless, this question is not new. Participation in wind energy governance has long been a major focus of scholarship, policy and practice. However, much of this literature has focused on the planned participation of local communities in the siting of wind parks. in doing so, the researchers have tended to narrow diverse community concerns to technical issues, such as wind turbine noise or the visual impact of wind farms. Once narrowed, these concerns have become sites of debate and innovation that are dominated by a narrow set of technical expertise and knowledge.Despite all the attempts to involve the public in wind energy decisions, technical experts remain the key determining how, where and by whom wind energy technologies are designed, implemented and managed over time. By lending their expert knowledge to the design of new technologies, such as wind turbines, they become the de facto governors of the environmental problems at stake. However, while various kinds of professional expertise clearly have important stakes in wind energy governance, the role of experts tends to be underplayed and, in turn, poorly understood in terms of the challenges and dilemmas that these actors experience in wind energy decision-making.The advent of digital technologies in the wind energy sector offers an opportunity to rethink participation in wind energy governance. Digital technologies are used to address public concerns about wind energy, most notably in planning of wind energy projects. As a result of these advances, upscaling wind energy is increasingly linked to a large-scale adoption of digital technologies. The proliferation of digital technologies is often referred to as a process of digitalisation. Given this importance of digital technologies, a better understanding of digitalisation and its effects on how the different concerns about wind energy are governed is needed.
