The sustainable development of the energy sector through the implementation of renewable energy (RE) technology has been a primary concern for the government of Malaysia since the 1990s. Developing RE technology in rural areas is also one of the most important energy strategies. One of the most important requirements for the successful adoption of renewable energy technology is the public acceptance of this technology. This article examines the public acceptance of RE (wind and solar) technologies among rural residents in Mersing, Malaysia. This study is conducted in conjunction with the development of the hybrid wind–solar RE generation system for the Marine Ecosystem Research Centre (EKOMAR), which located in Mersing. To investigate the public acceptance of RE technologies, two surveys were conducted, before and after the installation of the hybrid wind–solar RE generation system. The findings revealed that RE innovations, such as wind and solar energy, were well known among 54.7% and 96.2% of the respondents, respectively, before and after the introduction of EKOMAR. The survey results showed that rural residents generally support RE technologies and EKOMAR RE projects. They were also in line that the use of RE should also be extended to other parts of Mersing, including wind and solar. These findings illustrate that EKOMAR has played a crucial role in educating local residents about RE, wind and solar energy in particular. Residents believe the government plays an important role, particularly in rural areas, in encouraging and enhancing RE technologies.

South Korea is promoting the “Renewable Energy 3020 Plan” to expand the proportion of renewable energy (RE) from 2.2% in 2016 to 20% in 2030. Since the plan could lead to an increase in electricity rates, public acceptance of it is an important key to determining its success. This article examines the public acceptance of the plan by employing contingent valuation (CV). A nationwide CV survey of 1000 households was performed to collect the data on the willingness to pay (WTP) for implementing the plan using electricity charges as a payment vehicle during October 2018. More specifically, a dichotomous choice question to ask interviewees whether they have an intention of paying an offered bid and a spike model to treat the zero WTP observations were employed. The estimate for monthly WTP was KRW 3646 (USD 3.27) per household. When 10 years of the payment period presented in the survey and forecasted values of residential RE electricity consumption from 2018 to 2030 were used, the WTP was worth KRW 60.4 (USD 0.05) per kWh in 2018 constant price. The WTP amounts to 56.5% of the price for residential electricity (KRW 106.9 or USD 0.10 per kWh). That is, the RE electricity produced through implementing the plan has a premium of 56.5% over the current electricity. Overall, it is concluded that public acceptance of the plan has been secured.
