We developed four propositions based on previous studies and theories as a causal set. Based on the South Korean context, we selected the solar photovoltaic (PV) generation and solar PV expansion rate as barometers for measuring the success of a local energy transition. Our analysis highlights the importance of the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) membership (network), local legislation, and the environmental surveillance of locally-based non-governmental organizations (NGOs). The implications of this study will provide insights for developing or newly industrialized countries where an energy transition is underway. Keywords: local energy transition; fs-QCA; qualitative analysis; South Korean energy policy; solar PV 1. Introduction Can only regions with excellent geographical conditions produce renewable energy? If the answer to this question is “yes,” countries such as South Korea (which has high population density and mountainous topography that occupies 70% of the country) can hardly expect to be capable of utilizing renewable energy.

  • Public Acceptance of the “Renewable Energy 3020 Plan”: Evidence from a Contingent Valuation Study in South Korea
    sustainability Article Public Acceptance of the “Renewable Energy 3020 Plan”: Evidence from a Contingent Valuation Study in South Korea Ju-Hee Kim, Sin-Young Kim and Seung-Hoon Yoo * Department of Energy Policy, Graduate School of Energy & Environment, Seoul National University of Science & Technology, 232 Gongreung-Ro, Nowon-Gu, Seoul 01811, Korea; [email protected] (J.-H.K.); [email protected] (S.-Y.K.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-2-970-6802 Received: 7 March 2020; Accepted: 4 April 2020; Published: 14 April 2020 Abstract: South Korea is promoting the “Renewable Energy 3020 Plan” to expand the proportion of renewable energy (RE) from 2.2% in 2016 to 20% in 2030. Since the plan could lead to an increase in electricity rates, public acceptance of it is an important key to determining its success. This article examines the public acceptance of the plan by employing contingent valuation (CV). A nationwide CV survey of 1000 households was performed to collect the data on the willingness to pay (WTP) for implementing the plan using electricity charges as a payment vehicle during October 2018. More specifically, a dichotomous choice question to ask interviewees whether they have an intention of paying an offered bid and a spike model to treat the zero WTP observations were employed. The estimate for monthly WTP was KRW 3646 (USD 3.27) per household. When 10 years of the payment period presented in the survey and forecasted values of residential RE electricity consumption from 2018 to 2030 were used, the WTP was worth KRW 60.4 (USD 0.05) per kWh in 2018 constant price.

  • A Road Map to Deliver Smart Grid in the UK Simon Skillings
    A Road Map to Deliver Smart Grid in the UK Simon Skillings Summary The concept of a ‘smart grid’ involves the combination of instrumentation, communications and analytics that allows power network infrastructure to be operated in a dynamic and efficient manner as opposed to the ‘passive’ operational approach which is currently the norm in the UK. There exists general consensus that the challenges of climate change and system security, in particular the ability to accommodate significant volumes of decentralised and renewable generation, requires that the network infrastructure must be upgraded to enable smart operation. Failure to do so will act as a major obstacle in the transition to a low carbon economy. A second important aspect of network development involves the construction of a number of strategic interconnections across the North Sea to create a new off-shore grid. This opens up the opportunity to more fully exploit the vast untapped potential of off-shore wind energy. However, there are a series of obstacles which have hitherto hindered progress in upgrading the network. In particular, the current regulatory regime is not well designed to encourage network operators to embrace new technological opportunities and this is exacerbated by the extent of the risk and uncertainty involved. The government has a key role to play in injecting the necessary momentum by providing strong direction to the regulator on the outcomes that must be delivered. In addition, the government needs to ensure the appropriate financing routes are in place that will enable Ofgem to set a regulatory framework that leads to a low cost of capital for investors whilst retaining the necessary management incentives on network operators to deliver the required outcomes.
