“…• the applicability of enhanced exploitation of renewables [52]; • the spur of novel technologies upon electrical energy storage in electricity generation [53]; • the socio-cultural value of energy production as a common good that must be instilled in the secondary education systems [54]; • the energy autonomy and the forestry management of mountainous regions in satisfying the energy demand, either as energetically autonomous countries, or under bilateral national agreements of legal importing and exporting forestry biomass as supplementary sources of energy production [55,56]; • the public attitude that is generally positive towards RES and the high cost and lack of information as obstacles towards the wider support of RES-based energy investments [19,21,57]; • and the ongoing controversy between ecological, economic, and financial environment in Greece, since national policies should be oriented to 'green fiscal policies'. Greek national policy must be compatible with relevant European reports.…”

Abstract:The purpose of this study is to discover the factors shaping public opinion about renewable energy sources and investigate willingness to pay for expansion of renewable energy sources in the electricity mix. Data was collected through a questionnaire applied in Nikaia, an urban municipality of Greece. The respondents have a positive attitude towards renewable energy systems. Most of them have good knowledge of solar and wind energy systems and are using solar water heating, while several respondents own a solar PV system. Environmental protection is seen as the most important reason for investing in a renewable energy system. Willingness to pay for a wider penetration of RES into the electricity mix was estimated to be 26.5 euros per quarterly electricity bill. The statistical analysis revealed the existence of a relationship between RES perceived advantages and willingness to pay for renewable energy. Furthermore, by using a binary logit model, willingness to pay was found to be positively associated with education, energy subsidies, and state support.

“…In the case of Chile, the energy sector has been the leader in terms of national investment since 2015, mainly due to the new renewable capacity. In the next decade, the development of emerging technologies like electrical energy storage systems [33,34] or concentrating solar power [35] can have a profound impact on the electricity system, and their advantages for the whole country can only be used with an interconnection between the north and the south. Finally, there is a social benefit of an increasing concern of Chilean households on environmental issues, expressed in their support for the introduction of renewable energy sources by showing positive willingness to pay for it [36].…”

Having a well-adapted transmission network is key for reaching a sustainable energy system, where generators and consumers participate in an efficient market. The purpose of the present research is to estimate the impact on the final prices of the interconnection of the two largest electrical systems in Chile. To this end, an econometric model is used in which prices, among other variables, are explained by the level of marginal costs in the system (opportunity cost), the degree of concentration in the market (market power), and the variability of marginal costs projected by the agents (risk). The data corresponds to bilateral contracts between generators and major clients, from 2006 to 2014. The basic results indicate that the interconnection would benefit final customers by reducing equilibrium contract prices, as a result of the decreased variability of expected marginal costs and a lower concentration of existing generating companies. This study's main contribution is to focus on the benefits of electricity interconnection under conditions of competition and risk, instead of using the simple estimation of direct costs, as has traditionally been done.

“…Kyriakopoulos and Arabatzis [13] offer a broad literature review of energy storage technologies. They claim that several types of storage, and specifically pumped hydro, synthetic natural gas and, to the interest of this project, hydrogen, are the most advanced in terms of their capabilities for direct implementation.…”

Abstract:The electricity sector is among the main contributors to carbon emissions. This sector has the potential to reduce its carbon emissions through producing electric energy from zero-emitting facilities and optimizing consumption to better accommodate low-carbon emissions. The use of hydrogen combined with smart grids, as analyzed in this manuscript, can substantially contribute to climate change mitigation.
