Importantly, our results highlight the role of policy mixes in fostering the adoption of EE measures in UK.

This study investigates the nexus between DTI and GTFEE amidst China's uneven regional economic development. Utilizing a panel dataset spanning 30 provinces in China during 2012–2020, we employ the two-stage super network SBM model incorporating undesired outputs (two-stage super-NSBM) to quantify GTFEE. Furthermore, we harness the partially linear function-coefficient (PLFC) model to scrutinize DTI's impact on GTFEE across varying economic development levels. Our findings unveil that: DTI significantly augments GTFEE, particularly in eastern provinces and during the 13th Five-Year Plan period. DTI's influence on GTFEE is contingent upon economic development levels. Specifically, when per capita GDP surpasses 24150.80 yuan, the marginal enhancement effect emerges, progressively intensifying until reaching a steady state. Across different economic development stages, DTI primarily bolsters GTFEE by impacting green total-factor energy usage efficiency (GTFEUE) rather than green total-factor pollution treatment efficiency (GTFPTE). These insights suggest that to expedite GTFEE improvement, the government should foster DTI while accounting for regional economic development disparities.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":11672,"journal":{"name":"Energy Policy","volume":"194 ","pages":"Article 114342"},"PeriodicalIF":9.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142147890","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The widely proliferated self-consumption regulation promotes the utilization of battery storage systems to maximize the consumption of self-generated electricity from PV panels. Yet, a large-scale empirical field study evaluating the effect of such regulation is missing. To this end, we present an empirical evaluation of a unique dataset describing the operation of 947 household battery energy storage systems over one year, propose alternative regulatory regimes that we evaluate based on a simulation with the same battery profiles and a survey with 196 respondents evaluating household attitudes towards their battery storage. The results show that the self-consumption promoting regulation leads to almost no additional welfare for the system and even adds costs in some cases that are being socialized among energy consumers. Furthermore, minimal adjustments in the regulation might considerably increase the value of battery storage for households and the system and we find that trust in the supplier might suffice to have households adopt alternative battery storage profiles.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":11672,"journal":{"name":"Energy Policy","volume":"194 ","pages":"Article 114343"},"PeriodicalIF":9.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S030142152400363X/pdfft?md5=6a011eb7663fb2ad4cd0dca2d64cdeb6&pid=1-s2.0-S030142152400363X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142147883","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While high-income respondents consistently express higher satisfaction levels across multiple IEQ domains than middle-income ones, the latter report higher satisfaction levels than those with lower incomes. Wealthier households typically have more rooms, with all income groups reporting a median of three bedrooms. Lower-income respondents tend to spend a larger proportion of their income on energy bills per capita, despite consuming less energy per capita. Around 41% of lower-income respondents report facing challenges in paying utility bills, compared to 24% and 16% in middle- and upper-income groups, respectively. We present energy poverty thresholds that are customized based on survey responses from the different income groups, informing policymakers to consider downward revisions of thresholds to address the subjective aspect of energy poverty better.

Previous studies have examined the impact of green finance on RE. This study examines the impact of debt financing on RE capacity in 12 developing countries from 2000 to 2020. Green finance covers various financial tools for environmental sustainability. Therefore, a distinction between green and debt financing impact on RE is essential. The study uncovers a U-shaped relationship between debt financing and RE, suggesting that while initial debt financing may hinder RE deployment beyond a certain level, debt financing promotes RE deployment.

Firstly, we establish a theoretical framework for determining the optimal level of preventive maintenance, which can be extended across various electricity facilities. By analyzing the relationship between preventive maintenance costs and failure rates, our goal is to identify the investment level that ensures a reliable power system while minimizing financial burdens. Secondly, we explore the functional form that accurately characterizes the link between preventive maintenance costs and failure rates. The diminishing marginal rate of failure, dependent on different functional forms, highlights the variability of optimal preventive maintenance expenses. Utilizing Lasso regression, we identify the functional form that optimally characterizes the relationship between outage occurrences and maintenance costs. These insights extend well beyond the confines of the Korean power industry, offering a sustainable approach to managing transmission facilities and enhancing the overall stability and efficiency of global electricity networks.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":11672,"journal":{"name":"Energy Policy","volume":"194 ","pages":"Article 114316"},"PeriodicalIF":9.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142129740","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
