Rolf Wüstenhagen

Prof. Dr. Rolf Wüstenhagen holds the Chair for Management of Renewable Energies at University of St. Gallen. His research examines social, economic and policy dimensions of energy transitions.

Key research areas include social acceptance mechanisms for renewable projects, consumer behavior in energy markets, and policy design for sustainable investments. His empirical work utilizes choice experiments, surveys, and comparative analysis across European contexts.

Recent studies investigate gender associations in EV adoption, community investment models for wind power, and cross-national acceptance of climate policies. His research informs evidence-based energy policy and market design.
