The underestimated potential of solar energy to mitigate climate change
Felix Creutzig,Peter Agoston,Jan Christoph Goldschmidt,Gunnar Luderer,Gregory F. Nemet,Robert C. Pietzcker +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that underestimating PV potential led to suboptimal integration measures and that specific deployment strategies for emerging economies should be developed, and that PV generation represents a growing share of power generation.

Willingness-to-pay for renewable energy: Primary and discretionary choice of British households’ for micro-generation technologies
TL;DR: In this article, a choice experiment approach was used to investigate households' WTP for renewable energy technologies in the UK, and the results suggest that whilst renewable energy adoption is significantly valued by households, this value is not sufficiently large, for the vast majority of households, to cover the higher capital costs of micro-generation energy technologies.

Social acceptance of renewable energy sources: A review of contingent valuation applications
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a literature review addressing the public acceptance of renewable energy as a replacement for fossil fuels in electricity production and identify the parameters that influence consumers' energy behavior, together with their interest, or lack thereof, in the environmental impact of using fossil fuels to produce energy and their willingness to reduce it.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adopting sustainable innovation: what makes consumers sign up to green electricity?
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated what encourages consumers to adopt a green electricity tariff and found that consumers sympathetic to environmental issues do not necessarily adopt green electricity, due to lack of strong social norms and personal relevance, inconvenience of switching, uncertainty about the quality of green electricity and lack of accurate information.

Green electricity production with living plants and bacteria in a fuel cell
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the plant microbial fuel cell (plantMFC), a concept that exploits a bioenergy source in situ, where plants and bacteria were present to convert solar energy into green electricity.

US consumers' willingness to pay for green electricity
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyze US consumers' demand for environmental attributes of deregulated residential electricity services using results from a survey designed to elicit consumers' willingness to pay for such attributes and using results of a hedonic analysis of actual price premiums charged for green electricity in several deregulated markets.

Valuing the attributes of renewable energy investments
TL;DR: In this article, the authors estimate the magnitude of these external costs and benefits for the case of renewable technologies in Scotland, a country which has set particularly ambitious targets for expanding renewable energy.

Consumer demand for ‘green power’ and energy efficiency
TL;DR: The authors examined the reported willingness to pay for electric utility investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency resources using the results of Deliberative Polls ® conducted by electric utilities in Texas and found that informed dialogue about energy alternatives will result in broader interest in providing a modest level of support for these resources.
