Descripción
| Despite the importance of achieving a functioning and decarbonised European Energy Union (EnU) research addressing the public acceptance of cross-border energy interconnections at a European-wide level based upon public opinion polls is limited. To try to fill this gap in the literature, this article relies on a poll with 4000 respondents from the four big EU energy markets: France, Germany, Italy and Spain, including as a new explanatory variable their proximity to an electrical cross-border substation. Overall, 57,4% respondents have not heard about energy interconnections, and 69,2% have not ever heard about the internal energy market. Approaching public acceptance from a procedural justice framework, the article considers procedural justice as a pre-condition? For a fair policy-making process. By addressing the public acceptance of cross-border energy interconnections, the article aims to contribute to the existing literature on their linkages of said interconnections with the European energy policy-making process, deriving specific policy implications to foster cross-border interconnections and energy integration within the EnU.
The variables are retrieved from a set of questions included in the survey regarding the socio-demographic festures (sex, age, education and occupation), residence (country of residence and size of the population), and political preferences of the participants. We additionally create a variable measuring the proximity of the respondent to a cross-border interconnection substation, for a total of eight dependent variables. Using the postal codes of respondents, survey data was matched with the area of influence of the substations. Hence, it is possible to know if the respondents live in a level 3 NUTS region located in the area of influence of a cross-border interconnection substation.1 It may be expected that respondents living in these areas of influence will be better acquainted with interconnections, showing greater awareness and understanding.
