摘要

虽然太阳能在总体上得到了广泛的支持，但公用事业规模的太阳能阵列可能会引起争议，因为在选址阶段，它成为一个充满潜在不利因素和权衡的土地使用问题。我们进行了一项选择实验调查，以估计对美国罗德岛州公用事业规模太阳能电池阵列属性的偏好。我们的研究结果表明，太阳能开发项目获得批准的最大指标是事先的土地使用情况，居民愿意为商业、工业、棕地和覆盖的垃圾填埋场的开发项目每月额外支付10 - 21美元的水电费，为避免在农场和森林土地上的开发项目每月额外支付13 - 49美元。

When Energy Issues Are Land Use Issues: Estimating Preferences for Utility-Scale Solar Energy Siting

Although solar energy receives broad support in general, utility-scale solar arrays can be contentious because at the siting stage, it becomes a land use issue replete with potential disamenities and trade-offs. We conduct a choice experiment survey to estimate preferences for attributes of utility-scale solar arrays in Rhode Island, United States. Our results suggest that the largest indicator of solar development approval is prior land use, with residents willing to pay an additional $10–$21 in monthly utility bills for developments in commercial, industrial, brownfield, and covered landfill areas, and $13–$49 to avoid developments on farm and forest land.

期刊介绍： Land Economics is dedicated to the study of land use, natural resources, public utilities, housing, and urban land issues. Established in 1925 by the renowned economist and founder of the American Economic Association, Richard T. Ely at the University of Wisconsin, Land Economics has consistently published innovative, conceptual, and empirical research of direct relevance to economists. Each issue brings the latest results in international applied research on such topics as transportation, energy, urban and rural land use, housing, environmental quality, public utilities, and natural resources.
