Summary. Rural communities in Poland show broad awareness of renewable energy but lack deep, balanced knowledge about specific sources and their local applications. The study finds that personal experience with small-scale renewable installations drives attitude change and motivates new energy investments. Direct community involvement in renewable projects ensures both costs and benefits are distributed fairly across rural areas, making inclusive, place-based approaches essential for sustainable energy transitions.
