Local Solar Regulations and Patterns of Solar Development
Local Solar Regulations and Patterns of Solar Development
This project examines how county-level land use regulations shape utility-scale solar development in the United States. It investigates when local governments adopt solar regulations and how development in surrounding jurisdictions influences these decisions. The research seeks to better understand how local governments respond to emerging renewable energy development and the role of land use governance in shaping the energy transition.
Public Preferences for Infrastructure Permitting and Decision-Making
Public Preferences for Infrastructure Permitting and Decision-Making
This project examines how the public prefers governments to make decisions about large-scale infrastructure development. Using a national survey experiment, it investigates preferences for permitting institutions, including decision-making authority, approval standards, public participation, and the influence of public input on final decisions. The study also examines how these preferences vary across political orientations and infrastructure types, including solar, wind, data centers, and battery manufacturing facilities.
Grid Connection, Renewable Energy Adoption, and Energy Equity in Sub-Saharan Africa
Grid Connection, Renewable Energy Adoption, and Energy Equity in Sub-Saharan Africa
This project examines how access to electricity infrastructure translates into household energy use across sub-Saharan Africa. It investigates the different stages of electricity access, from grid availability and household connection to actual electricity use and adoption of renewable energy technologies. The research seeks to identify where gaps persist between infrastructure provision and household adoption and how these gaps contribute to inequalities in the energy transition.
