“…Also, this study modifies the research idea originally designed by Qin et al (2020) by adding public trust as an antecedent variable to make the theoretical model more predictive and explanatory. Third, in order to overcome the shortcomings of previous studies limited to analyzing the influence factors at the personal level (Schumacher and Schultmann, 2017;Johnson et al, 2018;Martínez-Mendoza et al, 2021), this study explores and tests the interaction at the level of elements such as personal norms, public trust, and subjective norms, as well as their influence on public behavior and willingness. This research breaks the gap of previous related research perspectives and provides new ideas for discussing the driver factors that influence the implementation of substation projects.…”

Public infrastructure, such as substations, is crucial for the advancement of the economy and society. However, the “not in my backyard” phenomenon is causing concern among the population, and these two things are at odds with one another. This study aims to investigate the driving mechanism that influences participation willingness of the public in order to promote the construction of substations, so the study proposes an integration model based on the planned behavior theory and the normative activation theory. Moreover, a structural equation model is created using the two dimensions, namely, social altruism and personal egoism, while data of 568 questionnaires are used for empirical research in combination with the “Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory” method; these data are collected in the surrounding areas of three 110kV substations in Jiaozuo city, China. The key factors that affect participation willingness of the public are discussed, and the study demonstrates that the model is most significantly impacted by public trust, which is an a priori variable. Furthermore, the direct path coefficient of personal norms on participation willingness is the largest, which confirms that increased moral responsibility has a beneficial effect on project execution, and subjective norms contribute to the improvement of the assessment model overall since they are the main variables with the largest centrality degree in the system. The findings of this research better our understandings about the mechanism of “not in my backyard” and offer practical implications for its dissolution. On the basis of this, we present pertinent policy proposals for the “not in my backyard” effect that develops during the construction of public infrastructure.

“…Por lo menos así lo demuestran las diversas investigaciones que se han producido en torno a este tipo de energía en el estado. En ellas se destacan los temas del rechazo social local a los proyectos eólicos (Velasco-Herrejón, Bauwens y Friant, 2022), sobre todo en comunidades indígenas, debido a la falta de la aplicación del Convenio 169 de la Organización Internacional del Trabajo (OIT), que versa sobre derechos de pueblos y comunidades indígenas (Martínez-Mendoza, Rivas-Tovar y García-Santamaría, 2021). También sobresale la discusión sobre la renta de la tierra (Alonso, 2022) control (Torres, 2022), por falta de ordenamiento territorial (Zárate-Toledo, Patiño y Fraga, 2019).…”

Objetivo: analizar la participación de las empresas locales en el desarrollo eólico de Oaxaca. Metodología: de cadena de valor, en la cual se entrevistó a personal de las empresas locales del sector energético para analizar su participación. Resultados: se identifican cualitativa y analíticamente seis elementos clave: 1) la caracterización de la cadena de valor y sus eslabones, 2) las maneras de participación de las empresas locales oaxaqueñas en la industria, 3) el tipo de gobernanza, 4) los procesos de escalamiento, 5) el papel del Estado y 6) las áreas de oportunidad. Valor: el análisis propuesto aporta conocimiento a la temática, ya que considera la participación de las empresas locales en el desarrollo eólico de la región. Conclusiones: la participación de las empresas locales oaxaqueñas se limita a los eslabones de menor valor agregado.

“…For example, in Yucatán, the environmental impact studies carried out for the recent wind energy project have been criticized by the majority of citizens due to their poor socialization [70]. In the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, multiple conflicts with the inhabitants have even led to some companies to abandon their projects [71]. Considering the series of conflicts that have occurred in the past, those promoted by radical environmentalists against onshore wind energy projects, one must have a good understanding of all of the most rigorous forecasts and studies before putting them into practice.…”

This study presents a 100% renewable and diversified system taking advantage of the available energy potential of renewable energies in Mexico with a view to a planned energy transition in cooperation with the environment. The processes of change that are experienced worldwide in favor of the planet make us reflect and propose alternatives that break traditional schemes in the production of energy (for which reason Mexico cannot deviate from its current model). It is here that this research becomes a transcendental and important reference for decision-making and the transformation of the energy sector in Mexico. The current electrical system relies on fossil fuels that need to be replaced by renewable energy sources (and it is necessary to satisfy growing demands in the long term). The methodological process is carried out with the use of the 100% renewable energy market design tool EnergyPLAN, which puts the concept of intelligent energy into practice by 2050. Finally, after analyzing the results, it is concluded that a good energy mix for 2050 is 30% solar photovoltaic, 25% wind, 14.5% hydraulic, 13.8% CSP plants, and 16.7% other technologies. Surpluses may be sold to the United States and Central America through interconnection points.
