オーストラリアの新制度「Solar Sharer」は正午の3時間無料電力を提供し、太陽光発電の公平性と系統過負荷回避を目指す。研究では、気候変動脅威認識、政府への信頼、環境アイデンティティの強さが制度への参加意欲を予測することを発見。参加者はコスト削減や環境面を評価するが、運用時間や物流に懐疑的。これらの知見は再生可能エネルギー移行のための政策メッセージに実践的示唆を与える。
English
This study of Australia's 'Solar Sharer' scheme (offering free midday electricity) finds that perceived climate threat, trust in government, and environmental identity predict willingness to opt in and shift electricity use. Participants value cost savings and environmental benefits but are skeptical about logistics. Findings inform behavioral interventions for renewable energy transitions.

📄 Abstract（原文）
A global transition to renewable energy is critical to addressing climate change. To support the renewable energy transition, a newly announced government scheme in Australia (Solar Sharer) offers three hours of free electricity midday. It aims to make solar generation more equitable and to avoid overloading the grid. However, little is known about the public knowledge and perceptions of the scheme and the psychological drivers of the willingness to engage with it, through opting into a Solar Share tariff and shifting electricity use to midday. Our study (N = 200) provides insights into pre-introduction consumer perceptions of Solar Sharer and identifies three key constructs associated with willingness to opt into Solar Sharer and shift power use to midday: perceived climate change threat; trust in the government; and environmental identity strength. Participants like the potential cost savings, environmental aspects and equity aspects about Solar Sharer but are sceptical about general logistics and operating hours. These findings help identify the psychological determinants of engagement with a major governmental energy initiative and offer practical recommendations for governmental messaging when introducing such schemes. More broadly, the findings highlight the importance of environmental identity, climate concern, and institutional trust in shaping public uptake of behavioural interventions supporting the renewable energy transition.
