英国当前的政策辩论和能源方案强调了能源系统转型的不同可能方式，以实现长期的国家政策目标，包括建立低碳经济，实现能源安全和可负担性，以及减轻环境影响。虽然之前已经有很多关于公众对生产或消费能源的具体方式的看法的研究，但我们对公众的看法、态度和价值观知之甚少，因为它们与整个能源系统的变化有关，是供应、需求、基础设施和人类行为系统中相互关联的一套转变。更好地了解公众对整个能源系统变革的可接受性，将为英国能源政策和转型的实施带来机遇，也带来挑战。该研究分为三个实证阶段：与主要利益相关者的访谈，在英格兰、苏格兰和威尔士与公众举行的一系列六次深入审议讲习班，以及一项具有全国代表性的调查（大不列颠，n=2,441）。本报告综合了与公众看法和偏好有关的两个核心数据集（即研讨会和调查）的主要发现。这项研究的核心结论是，英国公众希望并期望在能源供应、使用和管理方面发生变化。公众对能源系统变革的必要性持积极态度，他们没有优先考虑需求方而不是供给方，反之亦然，因为更需要变革。在此范围内，该研究阐明了关于公众态度的广泛新颖见解：能源政策驱动因素；能源系统变化要素；以及人们在处理这个问题时所遵循的基本价值观和原则。
Current policy debates and energy scenarios for the UK highlight the different possible ways of transforming the energy system in order to meet long-term national policy goals, including those of building a low carbon economy, achieving energy security and affordability, and mitigating environmental impacts. Although there has been much previous research on what publics think about specific ways of producing or consuming energy, we know far less about public perceptions, attitudes and values when elicited in relation to whole energy system change as an interconnected set of transformations in the systems of supply, demand, infrastructure and human behaviour. Greater understanding of public acceptability of whole energy system change will present both opportunities, and also highlight challenges, for the delivery of UK energy policy and transitions. The research had three empirical phases: interviews with key stakeholders, a series of six in-depth deliberative workshops held with publics in England, Scotland and Wales, and a nationally representative survey (Great Britain, n=2,441). This report represents a synthesis of key findings drawn from the two core datasets relating to public perceptions and preferences i.e. the workshops and the survey. The core conclusion from the research is that the British public wants and expects change with regard to how energy is supplied, used and governed. Members of the public are positive about the need for energy system change and they do not prioritise the demand side over the supply side, or vice versa, as being in greater need of change. Within this, the research has illuminated a wide range of novel insights on public attitudes regarding: energy policy drivers; elements of energy system change; and the underlying values and principles that people draw on when engaging with this issue.
