Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Welcome to the Special Issue ‘Perspectives on Community Engagement in Energy Transition'. The acceptance of local residents is very important in distributing clean energy such as renewable energy, CCUS, next-generation nuclear power generation, electric vehicles, hydrogen energy, and hydrogen vehicles. In order to secure public acceptance, a clean energy project should be promoted with the community. This Special Issue discusses the various ways to promote the deployment of clean energy. I look forward to receiving many papers.

Submissions related to the following topics are welcome:

  • Public acceptance of clean energy;
  • How the community can participate in clean energy projects;
  • How to make a successful energy transition;
  • Business model for clean energy project;
  • The role of nuclear power in the energy transition;
  • Energy transition prospects in each country;
  • Long-term outlook by each country's clean energy sources;
  • Stakeholder relations and sustainable business models;
  • Willingness to pay or willingness to accept for clean energy;
  • Economy of clean energy;
  • System-levelized cost of energy, including profile cost, balancing cost, and grid cost;
  • Economic ripple effect of clean energy;
  • Clean energy, including renewable energy, CCUS, next-generation nuclear power generation, electric vehicles, hydrogen energy, and hydrogen vehicles.

Electricity production using renewable energy instead of fossil-fuel-based energy sources has been expanding worldwide. Recently, the South Korean government has set a transition from a government and power company-led energy system to a public-participatory energy system as a basic policy direction in terms of power production. It has been actively providing budgetary and institutional support. A comprehensive understanding of the consumer (public)-oriented preferences of potential business participants is crucial for implementing a successful community solar business. This study analyzes the preferences of potential participants in the community solar business from the perspective of policymakers to derive policy implications. We used the contingent valuation method of the stated preference approach targeting potential participants (public) to create a hypothetical market for community solar businesses and measured the value by inducing survey respondents to trade for goods or services. The monthly average willingness-to-pay was estimated to be 25,572 won (USD 21.90), and gender, photovoltaic business experience, and income were the main influencing factors. Based on the results of this study, the preferences of potential consumers in South Korea were analyzed to contribute to the effectiveness of the national energy policy. Full article

Knowledge of energy transition (ET) is evolving in developing countries. Yet, it is unclear how the transition should be managed in a way that ensures justice for local stakeholders. We synthesise the extant theoretical ideas and practices of the local governance (LG) related to ET, which are vital in ensuring justice in energy policy at the local level. The paper advances this development by a systematic integrative literature review (N = 569) from the Web of Science (WoS) and highly cited grey literature linked to participation, LG, and ET. The bibliometric analysis indicates that, while the literature on energy justice is growing, limited attention has been paid to LG in just energy transition (N = 36). The analysis further indicates that more than half of the scientific literature is produced by five countries from the global North alone. In-depth scrutiny of highly cited studies and grey literature in LG and ET underlines the lack of a generalised framework of local ET governance, especially in the global South. We address this gap and propose a framework that exhibits a community-centric LG, which is essential for just energy transition. Full article
