Despite supplying the largest share of electricity in at least seventeen countries, diesel generators remain under-explored in academic literature. We review existing studies on their deployment across low-, middle- and high-income countries, integrating ethnographic data from our research on Lebanon’s fossil fuel and solar energy sectors alongside insights from Science and Technology Studies (STS). We advance three core claims. First, diesel generators are a highly adaptable, long-standing technology whose relevance has grown amid geopolitical instability and environmental crises. Second, while decentralised renewable energy solutions such as microgrids are often seen as pathways to bypass conventional grids and decarbonise energy systems, their reliance on diesel backup underscores the persistent role of fossil fuels in energy transitions. Third, diesel generators sustain modern life beyond dysfunctional centralised grids, exposing the failure of neoliberal development models to ensure universal electricity access in low- and middle-income countries. Our findings highlight the interdependence between micro-solar infrastructures, the role of diesel generators in the ‘net zero’ transition, and emerging debates on ‘post-grid imaginaries’.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48384,"journal":{"name":"Energy Research & Social Science","volume":"126 ","pages":"Article 104124"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144170772","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}

Inspired by PayGo for solar electricity, PayGo for Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) has been developed to improve the affordability of cooking with gas to replace the use of charcoal. This study investigates how PayGo contributes to affordability of LPG in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and how the characteristics of this energy provision enable or constrain affordability. The analysis also compares PayGo LPG with the further developed PayGo solar business models, and builds on the literature on the private sector's role in providing infrastructure in the Global South. Through mixed methods with an emphasis on qualitative interviews, we elaborate on understandings of affordability. We show that affordability, which intuitively is associated with quantitative methods and economic approaches, can be better understood when also investigated through qualitative research. Empirically, we show that PayGo LPG contributes to affordability but is far from affordable for all and faces similar limitations as PayGo solar in making a profitable business and fulfilling investors' high expectations while simultaneously reaching the large number of people who live in poverty. In policy-making on cooking solutions, PayGo LPG may nevertheless contribute as part of an energy mix. The study provides relevant insights for other urban and peri-urban areas in Sub-Saharan Africa with similar challenges and opportunities on energy for cooking.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48384,"journal":{"name":"Energy Research & Social Science","volume":"126 ","pages":"Article 104155"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144170769","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}

To clarify which psychological factors can accelerate or hinder uptake, we performed the most comprehensive quantitative synthesis of psychological determinants of sustainable energy-technology adoption to date. We synthesised 1341 zero-order correlations from 206 peer-reviewed studies (138,874 participants in total) across 35 countries. The summary of results for 57 constructs shows that, among the most frequently studied variables, personal norms, attitudes, and perceived behavioural control have the strongest positive associations with sustainable energy-technology adoption outcomes, whereas perceived monetary costs and perceived risk emerge as relevant barriers. For most constructs, psychological predictors have slightly stronger effects on adoption intentions than on actual adoption; however, medium-to-large associations with behaviour indicate that the same determinants are ultimately important for action. Over time, both the positive influence of environmental concern and the negative influence of perceived monetary cost have increased, while the influence of other constructs has remained stable. In addition, the magnitude of the key psychological predictors appears largely consistent across world regions and technology categories. Our findings indicate that, beyond price-based instruments, policies that reinforce moral and social norms, foster supportive attitudes, and strengthen perceived control can further accelerate uptake. By capturing key drivers and barriers at scale, this meta-analysis refines explanations for the adoption of sustainable energy technologies and provides an evidence base for more targeted interventions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48384,"journal":{"name":"Energy Research & Social Science","volume":"126 ","pages":"Article 104152"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144170770","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}

Our findings highlight three core themes: extreme temperatures caused by poor insulation, the financial burden of inflated electricity costs, and the structural landlord-tenant dynamics that limit tenants' control over energy use. While Taiwan's electricity prices are relatively low, informal rental arrangements push tenants into hidden energy poverty, where affordability metrics fail to capture restricted energy use and its consequences. The split incentive problem, compounded by weak tenant protections, discourages landlords from investing in energy-efficient upgrades while profiting from inflated electricity charges. These findings underscore how energy poverty is not merely a technical or economic issue but is shaped by social relations and structural housing inequalities. By situating Taipei's case within broader global discussions on informal housing and tenant vulnerability, this study contributes to a more nuanced understanding of energy poverty and its governance in urban environments.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48384,"journal":{"name":"Energy Research & Social Science","volume":"126 ","pages":"Article 104156"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144146332","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}

In the context of widespread skepticism regarding anthropogenic climate change, our ethnographic research shows that advocates of wood-based bioenergy development claim that it will continue regardless of the “truth” about climate change. Many environmental advocates believe climate change is a vital issue to address but question bioenergy's climate-mitigating impacts. One key group that all of these actors target is rural forest landowners, as their willingness to provide biomass feedstocks is vital to the success of a bioenergy facility in a planned location. While landowners' buy-in is often taken for granted, these assumptions are based on the presumption that landowners will act in their economic best interest. The reality is far more complicated. For rural forest landowners, neither bioenergy nor climate change is an isolated issue, but rather they are embedded within a matrix of cultural values, political ideologies, and personal lived experiences. Our ethnographic research conducted in and around rural communities across the region that are home to both forest-based economies and to wood-based bioenergy facilities has revealed complicated linkages between how rural forest landowners think about climate science and renewable energy and about how they perceive the relation of these issues to their own forests and communities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48384,"journal":{"name":"Energy Research & Social Science","volume":"126 ","pages":"Article 104151"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144146784","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}

We combine the concepts of energy vulnerability and intersectionality to investigate the lived experiences of intersectional energy insecurity among at-risk populations in Hong Kong, a densely populated city with a warm climate. Utilising semi-structured interviews with key informants and individuals experiencing energy insecurity, our findings highlight crucial themes defining energy insecurity in Hong Kong: affordability, the relationship between the housing market, and how crowded living conditions affect household energy requirements. Additionally, overlapping vulnerabilities intensify energy unaffordability and inaccessibility, often excluding certain individuals from available support programmes. This study emphasises the need for tailored energy assistance programmes catering to the specific needs of older adults, refugees, and ethnic minorities.
