📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本のFIP制度や需給調整市場の普及策として、消費者の心理的要因を考慮した政策メッセージの重要性を示唆する。特に、環境アイデンティティや政府信頼が行動変容に与える影響は、日本での再エネ促進策（例：再エネ賦課金の見える化）にも応用可能。
In the global GX context
This study offers behavioral insights for renewable energy policy design globally. While focused on Australia, the psychological drivers (trust, climate concern, environmental identity) are universal. For countries implementing similar time-of-use tariffs or community solar schemes, understanding these factors can enhance uptake and equity.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Behavioral drivers of renewable energy scheme uptake are empirically tested, offering a framework for cross-country comparisons.
🏢実務担当者:Corporate sustainability teams can leverage insights on trust and identity to design employee or customer engagement programs for green tariffs.
🏛政策担当者:Government messaging for new sustainability schemes should emphasize environmental benefits, equity, and build trust to increase participation.
📄 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.
