“…A major strategy in this transition involves enhancing energy efficiency while maintaining economic growth to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, a significant contributor to carbon emissions. To measure progress in energy efficiency, several models are utilized, such as the SFA model (Assimo Filippini and Lester C, 2016) [5] , the improved DEA model (Lo Storto, 2017) [6] , the global SBM model (Zhao X et al) [7] and the super-efficient SBM model (Yang and Wei, 2018) [8] . Overcoming technological and managerial inefficiencies is key to improving energy efficiency [5] .…”

The digital economy, emerging as a new form of economic system, holds a crucial position in enhancing energy efficiency. It does so by streamlining the distribution of resources with the help of data and augmenting the flow efficiency of production factors. This paper examines the precise role and mechanism of the digital economy in enhancing energy efficiency from both theoretical and empirical perspectives. This paper utilises panel data from China's provinces and cities over a fifteen-year period, ranging from 2006 to 2021. The fixed-effects model is employed to investigate the precise pathway in which the level of digital economy development influences energy efficiency. The study reveals that the digital economy has a notable impact on enhancing energy efficiency. The analytical mechanism indicates that the digital economy effectively improves energy efficiency by advancing regional marketisation, optimising the industrial structure, and fostering innovation and the adoption of new technologies. Owing to considerable disparity among diverse parts of China, the digital economy seems to have a positive impact on the eastern and central regions, while its influence remains restricted in the western regions. Meanwhile, the areas encompassed by the Yangtze River Economic Belt are the most viable for advancement in energy efficiency through the digital economy. The influence of the digital economy on energy efficiency is markedly inconsistent due to the considerable variation in resource allocation among various regions. The role of the digital economy in enhancing energy efficiency is particularly evident in regions with moderate resource endowment. Thus, this study contends that realisation of the digital economy's capacity requires the government to consider the regional development disparities and resource endowment circumstances. To achieve balanced regional growth and comprehensive progress in energy efficiency, the government must develop tailored policies that promote marketisation, optimise industrial structure, and incentivise technological advancement. Therefore, the implementation of these measures is crucial.

“…Second, the decline in the prices of solar energy generation modules has also been the reason for significant growth in the renewable energy industry (Dutt, 2020). The uses of renewable energy sources contribute to economic and social growth by reducing the dependency on fossil fuel imports and creating jobs, skills and technological innovation (Lo Storto, 2017). Most notably, installing solar energy modules in Indian villages will raise the living standard of millions of villagers by providing them with lighting, employment opportunities, e-education, better social and health conditions and other household energy needs (Newman, 2021).…”

Purpose This study aims to examine the determinants of adoption intention toward the rooftop solar photovoltaic (RSPV) systems among residents of peri-urban villages of Gurugram, Haryana, India. This study also analyzes the impact of the adoption of RSPV systems on carbon neutrality from a behavioral perspective. Design/methodology/approach Data was collected using a self-administrated structured questionnaire from 208 male villagers (195 usable) of 22 villages using the purposive sampling technique. Findings Results revealed that relative advantage, followed by simplicity, trialability, observability and compatibility, positively and significantly impact villagers’ attitude toward adopting RSPV systems in their homes. Perceived severity and perceived vulnerability significantly influence the perceived behavioral control of villagers toward adopting the RSPV systems. The results show villagers’ attitudes, subjective norms and perceived behavioral control are the essential predictors of their adoption intention of the RSPV systems. Most notably, carbon neutrality was significantly affected by villagers’ adoption intention of RSPV systems as the renewable energy source in their homes. Originality/value The findings of this study provide that innovation attributes are important factors in shaping the adoption intentions of customers toward RSPV systems. This study is also the extent of previous studies measuring customers’ perception of adopting renewable energy in developed and emerging countries worldwide.
