As for the ownership of wind energy, there were some famous cases of community owned wind projects in Germany and in Denmark, e.g. Wind Park Wiemersdorf and Middelgrunden (I just checked their website and they are still running quite well after more than 2 decades). The continual increase of single unit size has made community ownership less and less possible nowadays in these countries.

There are still some cases coming out, such as the proposal of a community windpark in Heidelburg and the one in NRW.

Recently other mechanisms are being proposed. In NRW a “citizen energy law” is being discussed so local residents near windparks might get discount in electricity or direct payments.
