The tensions that emerged between delivering energy infrastructure and giving the public and local communities a say in decision-making during the UK shale gas controversy offer a number of important lessons both for any renewed attempt to develop a domestic shale gas industry and as the UK looks toward the infrastructure required for Net Zero. University of Sussex researchers investigated formal public participation in UK shale gas decision-making in order to understand the nature and extent of the participatory opportunity on offer and learn what participants thought about these exercises. This policy brief summarises the findings of this work and makes four recommendations to institutions that oversee formal participatory processes on energy infrastructure.
