Abstract

ABSTRACT Notwithstanding the global turn to renewable energy, its development is constrained by a lack of social acceptance. Various studies have evaluated citizens’ acceptance of and willingness to pay (WTP) for renewable energy and associated factors. We broadened the analytical framework of previous studies by incorporating spatial data on renewable and nonrenewable power plants, natural and produced capital, and renewable energy potential to determine key factors affecting social acceptance measured through WTP for renewable energy in Japan. We found that besides respondents’ ages, sex, education levels, and household incomes, their proximity to existing power plants generating renewable and nonrenewable energy and natural capital endowments in their locations significantly affected their WTP for renewable energy. Our analysis further revealed that whereas visible solar PV plants located within 3 km of respondents’ residences negatively affected their WTP, less visible plants at high elevations did not impact negatively on social acceptance.

不可见的价值:影响可再生能源社会接受度的因素
尽管全球转向可再生能源,但其发展受到缺乏社会接受度的限制。各种研究评估了公民对可再生能源的接受度和支付意愿(WTP)及其相关因素。我们扩大了以往研究的分析框架,将可再生和不可再生发电厂、自然资本和生产资本以及可再生能源潜力的空间数据纳入其中,以确定影响日本可再生能源WTP测量的社会接受度的关键因素。研究发现,除了年龄、性别、受教育程度和家庭收入等因素外,他们对现有可再生能源和不可再生能源发电厂的接近程度以及所在地区的自然资本禀赋也显著影响了他们对可再生能源的WTP。我们的分析进一步表明,位于受访者住宅3公里范围内的可见太阳能光伏电站对他们的WTP产生负面影响,而位于高海拔地区的不太可见的太阳能光伏电站对社会接受度没有负面影响。
