能源转型需要重新思考公共当局的作用，以整合公众的观点和关切。本文通过瑞士日内瓦的案例研究，探讨了公众如何看待公共当局通过制定全州地热计划来改造当地能源系统的作用。我们使用公共价值观的视角，确定与国家角色和责任相关的公共价值观。分析公共价值观可以了解公众如何看待国家行为，从而了解当局如何充分回应和适应这些期望，从而将政策扎根于公共价值观。我们首先探讨公共价值的概念并提出背景。然后，文章根据焦点小组数据提出了与当局的角色和责任相关的最突出的公共价值观。对于居民而言，公共当局在能源转型方面最重要的职能是宣传和提高认识。其他重要职能包括提供财政支持和监管。认识到沟通及其相关价值的重要性使公共当局能够奠定基础，然后有效地推出、规划或支持能源转型项目。
Energy transitions require a rethinking of the role of public authorities to integrate public views and concerns. Through a case study in Geneva, Switzerland, this article examines how the public sees the role of the public authority in the transformation of a local energy system by developing a canton-wide geothermal program. We use a public values perspective, identifying public values linked to the roles and responsibilities of the state. Analyzing public values allows understanding how the public perceives state actions and consequently how the authority may adequately respond and accommodate these expectations and doing so, anchor policies in public values. We begin by exploring the concepts of public value and posing the contextual background. The article then presents the most salient public values linked to the roles and responsibilities of the authorities based on focus group data. For residents the most important function of the public authority in relation to energy transitions is to inform and raise awareness. Other important functions are providing financial support and regulating. Acknowledging the importance of communication and its associated values allows public authorities to set the anchor to then effectively roll out, plan or support energy transition projects.
