Q2. What are the future works in "Social acceptance of renewable energy innovation: an introduction to the concept" ?
Therefore, further research could investigate the link between ownership and community acceptance, both in a more narrow sense of legal ownership, but also with regard to determinants of a ( more subjectively defined ) ‘ ‘ sense of ownership ’ ’. J Given the strong focus of some of the renewable energy policies on developing countries, more research on social acceptance and adoption of renewable energy innovation in the South, especially among the poorest of people, should be an obvious priority area for further research. Further work in this area could enhance their understanding of the current rethinking process in large energy companies towards taking a more or less proactive approach to renewables.
Q3. What is the key question for further research?
Given the strong focus of some of the renewable energy policies on developing countries, more research on social acceptance and adoption of renewable energy innovation in the South, especially among the poorest of people, should be an obvious priority area for further research.
Q4. What is the importance of local involvement in the implementation of wind power?
Together with the crucial significance of local involvement in siting decisions for the relative success in implementation, the authors recommend facilitating local ownership and institutionalising participation in project planning to help arrive at a better recognition and involvement of the multiple interests (environmental, economic and landscape) that are relevant at the local level of implementation.
Q5. What is the definition of community acceptance?
Community acceptance refers to the specific acceptance of siting decisions and renewable energy projects by local stakeholders, particularly residents and local authorities.
Q6. What is the role of trust in the community?
In particular, when investors and facility owners are community outsiders, trust in their aims, attitude and competence becomes an issue.
Q7. What is the typical pattern of local acceptance of renewable energy?
As Wolsink (2007) in this issue demonstrates, the typical pattern of local acceptance before, during, and after a project follows a U-curve, going from high acceptance to (relatively) low acceptance during the siting phase (usually still positive on average) and back up to a higher level of acceptance once a project is up and running.
Q8. What are the main questions that affect the acceptance of a solar project?
If a local government, a project developer, and a power company try to implement a residential solar power system by siting photovoltaic modules on rooftops in a new housing district, many crucial questions emerge that affect the acceptance of several actors.
Q9. What is the link between the social acceptance of green power and the physical generation of the energy system?
there is a link with socio-political acceptance, because these firms are influential stakeholders in the development of energy policies and they can use their influence in the crucial political decisions about the design of financial procurement systems and the access to the grid for other investors in renewable energy systems.
Q10. What is the relationship between trust and perceived competence?
Trust in each of the three actors appeared to depend on perceived competence and intentions, which in turn were found to be related to perceived similarity of goals and thinking between trustee and trustor.
