Description
SCCER CREST is one of eight Swiss Centers of Competence in Energy Research that have been established by the Commission of Technology and Innovation (CTI) in 2014. The aim of SCCER CREST is to contribute to the energy transition in Switzerland by providing detailed, evidence-based recommendations on policies that help to reduce energy demand, foster innovation, and increase the share of renewables in a cost-efficient way. Within the different SCCERs, CREST covers the action area "economy, environment, law, and behavior" with three lines of research that develop innovative concepts for energy policy, provide an in-depth analysis of drivers and barriers to energy efficiency, produce detailed strategies that help firms and regions in adjusting to the new energy system, and develop novel assessment tools for policies and technological solutions.
SCCER CREST comprises research groups from the Universities of Basel, Geneva, Lucerne, Neuchâtel, and St. Gallen, as well as Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology (ETH) Zurich and Lausanne, and University of Applied Sciences Winterthur (ZHAW).
The Center for Energy Innovation, Governance and Investment (EGI-HSG) represents the St.Gallen research center of SCCER CREST, consisting of 5 research insitutes: Prof. Wüstenhagen (IWÖ-HSG), Prof. Davis (IPW-HSG), Prof. Frauendorfer (ior/sf-HSG), Prof. Gassmann (ITEM-HSG), and Prof. Hettich (IFF-HSG)

Item type:Publication, Public acceptance of hydropower production in Switzerland(2015-07-03); Although huge public acceptance can be observed for renewable energy technologies but when it comes to implementation, public concern has been increasing. The same case can be experienced in recent hydropower expansion efforts in Switzerland as well. To investigate the reasons behind the resistance we conducted a nationwide representative survey with a choice experiment on hydropower acceptance. Results show that having small ecological impacts on aquatic ecosystem would be a prerequisite for any further expansion. The conflicting policy goals, namely increasing hydropower production and preserving rivers, seem to reflect back in public perceptions.Type:presentation - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Social Acceptance in Energy through Democratic and Administrative Procedures : SCCER CREST yearly conference(2014-11-06)While there are ambitious government targets to increase the share of renewable energy and to reduce energy consumption in the energy strategy 2050, it is recognized today that social acceptance may be a constraining factor in achieving these targets. In some disciplines, research on Social Acceptance («Akzeptanzforschung») in energy is still in its infancy; in other fields, in particular if used to alter behaviour by way of «social engineering», it is already highly criticized by some scholars. This symposium aims at finding interdisciplinary approaches to determine social acceptance of new ways to supply, distri-bute and use energy, e.g. for wind and hydro power, transmission lines and the smart grid. Starting by «de-learning» established disciplinary concepts, we will seek a common understanding of the term social acceptance as well as the possibilities and limits of disciplinary and interdisciplinary research in this field. This symposium is the first yearly conference of SCCER CREST, the Competence Center for Research in Energy, Society and Transition, one of the Swiss Competence Centers for Energy Research established by the Federal Commission for Technology and Innovation. It is hosted by the University of St.Gallen Law School, the Research Center for Information Law and the Institute for Legal Studies and Legal Practice. The conference is for CREST members and affiliates from all disciplines. Practitioners from industry and other fields as well as the general public are welcome. The symposium will be held in a multilingual format.Type:presentation - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
