Abstract:This study investigates the flow of energy-related information, which plays a vital role in promoting the public understanding and support for various energy sources. Through 12 focus group discussions with the public and energy experts, this study found that energy information flows from scientists to the public through both direct (e.g., roadshows, scientists’ blogs) and indirect (via agents, e.g., school, news media) channels. However, communication gaps remain between scientists and the public. First, the … Show more

Th e authors come to the conclusion that in order to conduct SC with the public, scientists should more actively use the advantages provided by interactive mass media (e. g., social media) and online platforms as well as develop the strategies to reach out diff erent population groups.…”

“…However, the issue with RE is that it requires a lot of money to create facilities like solar power plants and wind farms, and the returns are not all that great. For this reason, the government devised the "Feed-in Tariff" (FIT) system, a subsidy program designed to promote the development and investment in renewable energy (Guild, 2019;Zhang, Malviya, Tandoc, & Ho, 2022).…”

“…Public involvement has improved the ultimate decision-making process and, as a result, raised choice awareness. In order to progress energy initiatives and programs in the future, it is critical to see the contentious debates as essential prerequisites (Kabir et al, 2018;Zhang et al, 2022).…”
This study aims to explore the lived experiences of Panaboan energy consumers regarding energy policies. This qualitative study was conducted using the phenomenology method. The six participants were purposefully selected to participate in an in-depth face to face interview. The researchers obtained informed consent to assure the participants of their rights and privacy. The interview was audio recorded, and note-taking was present with the participants’ permission for documentation reasons. The data were collected and transcribed verbatim, and the responses that were compiled were thematically analysed. The results of the analysis of the data reveal four interesting themes: the experiences, challenges, coping mechanisms, and insights of the energy consumers. Through the participants’ shared stories from their experiences, it aids energy company stakeholders and the government’s awareness and understanding of why there is a need to improve energy policies. Finally, implications were indicated about what measurements were needed to formulate in order to address the energy policy concerns of consumers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
