“…Furthermore, in assessing the acceptability of communities toward renewable energy projects by taking into account their socio-demographic composition, their rationality style in terms of goals, values or traditions, it was concluded that solar, biomass and hydro projects may have a higher level of acceptance than wind farm projects [25].…”

Energy Transition in Marginalized Urban Areas: The Case of Romania

et al. 2022

To achieve a succesful energy transition, the collaboration of all stakeholders and policies for decarbonization at all levels are required. In this context, we aim to assess the perspective of energy transition in marginalized urban areas in Romania. The research is based on findings from a consistent analysis of 37 local development strategies in Romania in terms of energy (electricity and heating service provision). Despite the issues identified, we detected that communities across the country showed limited interest in renewable energy, which may be linked to low levels of awareness and education of residents in marginalized communities. In parallel with the analysis of the strategies, we developed Romania’s maps for renewable solar resources. Then, we developed maps of energy potential by linking the map of marginalized communities with the map of renewable energy resource potential in Romania. In addition, we used the PVGIS solar radiation tool to generate results related to median solar radiation estimates. Finally, we concluded by proposing a roadmap for potential energy projects in marginalized urban areas and providing recommendations for (i) Managing Authorities to support project preparation for future Operational Programmes and for (ii) the urban Local Action Groups.

“…Outcomes are consistent with former scholars’ analysis, which depict consumers’ buying intention to the specific technology they believe in its benefits. The citizens incorporate solar energy technologies by distinguishing the differences or actual benefits between ordinary energy origins (Colmenares-quintero et al 2020 ). There must be a possibility as the Chinese government is briefly advertising the benefits of solar energy technologies and people prefer them.…”

Due to China’s massive usage of fossil fuels, climate change concerns have become serious challenges to the country’s sustainable development. Despite the fact that China has effectively employed solar technology to address these problems, there is a paucity of research examining consumers’ intention to adopt solar energy in the rural region of China. This study intends to fill this gap in the literature by studying consumers’ buying intentions for solar energy in rural China for household purposes. Additionally, the study added to the theory of planned behavior by adding three new variables, namely, environmental knowledge, environmental concern, and beliefs about the benefits of solar energy. Primary data were collected from 847 respondents in Hebei Province using a comprehensive questionnaire survey. Structural equation modeling was employed to examine the data. Empirical results revealed that attitude, environmental knowledge, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, and beliefs about the benefits of solar energy positively influence buying intention of solar energy. On the contrary, environmental concern had no significant effect on buying intention for solar energy. Study outcomes emphasize the critical significance of changing societal norms, boosting consumer awareness, redesigning regulatory mechanisms, and stressing the benefits provided by solar power through coherent and persistent efforts while simultaneously enhancing environmental sustainability practices.

“…Por otro lado, el mapa de las principales subestaciones y líneas de transmisión de energía, demuestra que en la costa se cuenta con la infraestructura adecuada para la transmisión y gestión de la energía (Ministerio de Energía y Minas, 2016). Esto resulta ventajoso, no solo por el potencial para generar energía y la infraestructura eléctrica, sino también porque, según Colmenares-Quintero et al (2020), las comunidades que han tenido una mayor educación y que cuentan con más acceso a información tienen una tendencia más alta hacia la aceptación de los proyectos de energía renovable que se incorporan en la geografía de la región. Dicho esto, la región costera del Perú es la más desarrollada e integrada con el mundo moderno, lo que significa una ventaja hacia la aceptación por parte de la sociedad de proyectos RER.…”

Este estudio presenta un análisis del potencial para el desarrollo de la energía eólica en el Perú a partir de una revisión sistemática de las investigaciones realizadas en los últimos años, considerando diversas variables e indicadores pertinentes. La investigación fue de tipo exploratorio y explicativo, con un enfoque cualitativo y no experimental. Entre los principales resultados de la investigación, se encontró un número importante de proyectos adjudicados y de parques eólicos en ejecución en el Perú. Asimismo, se pudo identificar la cantidad de energía que se produce y que se puede producir a partir estos proyectos, el precio promedio de la potencia generada, las zonas aptas para su desarrollo, entre otros. Esto evidencia que el Perú es un país en el que la energía eólica se encuentra en proceso de desarrollo, pero cuyo su potencial no guarda relación con el desarrollo alcanzado en la actualidad.
