| Abstract |
In alignment with the global movement toward carbon neutrality, South Korea has actively pursued the transition to renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, with strong government support. However, the implementation of these projects has sometimes been hasty, leading to conflicts and opposition from local residents in areas where renewable energy facilities were installed. To address this issue, the government introduced policies like community-based renewable energy projects, which aim to enhance local acceptance by expanding benefit-sharing with residents. Despite these efforts, challenges in project execution have emerged due to insufficient communication and a lack of transparency among stakeholders, resulting in delays or cancellations of some projects. This study proposes the application of Shapley values, commonly used in cooperative game theory for resource allocation, to analyze the contributions of different participants and the distribution of benefits in community-based renewable energy projects. By calculating the Shapley value, the study quantifies the contribution of each participant to the project's success, enabling a fair distribution of profits based on relative contributions. This approach, by ensuring a transparent and equitable benefit-sharing process, is expected to reduce conflicts among stakeholders and strengthen acceptance by local communities and municipalities. |
