“…In the case of the other cities, the analysed documents did not include direct diagnostic references to a Smart City (marked in pink). The analysis of strategic provisions of cities referring to Smart City in the future aspect presents itself differently: through development vision, goals, directions or projects, e.g., in the aspect of climate protection or efficient energy use [70][71][72][73][74][75]. All of the analysed strategic documents include subject references, in the majority as an element of visions or goals (marked in green), while, in the case of D ąbrowa Górnicza these provisions refer only to smart specialisations, and not directly to a Smart City (marked in yellow).…”

“…However, building energy models based on renewable sources may, but does not have to, be the only way for energy companies to develop. Still, there are nuclear and CCS storage technologies, the capacity market, or the more efficient use of current capacities [12,13].…”

“…Secondly, several leading areas of research can be distinguished, among which one can notice the threads-particularly sustainability, stakeholders, and energy policy-as an area of shaping institutional solutions [39][40][41]. Such policies bring with them systemic and market solutions, such as capacity market, energy market regulations, certificates of origin, etc., and that causes increased communication traffic in social media [12,42,43].…”

Recent years have seen an increase in the role of social media in the communication of energy sector companies (ESCs) with consumers. Currently, consumers look for information, create it themselves, and share it with other Internet users. eWOM communication means that energy companies, firstly, must be present in social media so that consumers can get to know them better, and secondly, they must consciously shape their image according to the expectations of their customers. One-way communication, such as customer satisfaction measurements, is no longer enough to know their preferences. Market trends indicate that for current buyers—both consumer and non-consumer products—the image of a “green product” or a “green company” is expected. Only a few companies report that they are harmful for environment. All companies report that they are generally community friendly. The consumer would like to know, in particular, about the harmfulness to the environment. Thus, there is a knowledge gap that the companies are not filling. In addition to the advertised satisfaction indicators, you can also test customers’ perceptions of environmental responsibility. That is, the research and results in the area of social responsibility must also be accompanied by environmental responsibility. Therefore, the article aims to indicate whether the level of consumer engagement in social media affects the perception of the green energy business model and how the attitude and pro-environmental behavior of social media users affects this perception. The paper also identifies factors related to social media that influence the perception of ESCs.

“…Expectations are changing, for example, with regards to the procurement of energy, the speed of RES development, the innovation of energy projects, changes in source technologies, and energy storage (Jasiński et al 2021;Kaszyński et al 2021;Saługa et al 2021). This is done through the introduction of new technologies and processes in the energy sector, the renewable energy sector, from consumers to prosumers (Czarnecka 2014), including cognitive technologies, and the continuous improvement of efficiency and competitiveness (Malec et al 2021).…”

The smart-city concept refers to a city that uses information and communication technologies to increase the interactivity and efficiency of urban infrastructure and its components, as well as raising awareness among residents of, for example, such socially important issues as energy efficiency and decarbonization. The current priorities and strategic goals of cities and metropolitan areas include climate protection, the reduction of pollution caused by the use of means of transport and heat or energy sources. The development of technology and the evolving smart-city concept are in line with the more efficient use of resources, global demographic trends, and ongoing urbanization processes. This results from the evolving potential of cities that the new information and communication technologies (ICTs) have set in motion. A change in the way cities function is a part of the concept of sustainable development, which involves the thoughtful use of resources in such a way that they are sufficient to not only ensure the well-being of the present generation but to also meet the needs of the future. Particularly important is the principle of sustainable development, which involves the greatest possible synergy between people and the world around them. Therefore, the essence of the idea of sustainable development is the pursuit of the well-being of society while maintaining the integrity of the ecosystem. Studies carried out among inhabitants of cities show that according to their understanding of the smart-city concept, the technological element is as important as the fact that the city is resident-friendly, smartly managed, and well organized, and the entities needed are always in the right place and at the right time. The purpose of this study is to analyze the innovation 110 potential of selected cities of a large metropolis in terms of the smart city concept and 4T capitals. The subject is related to the search by city authorities for new models and tools to shape sustainable development in order to improve their residents' access to municipal services and amenities, as well as to increase their influence on the future of their cities in such difficult ongoing processes as decarbonization. The main objective of the study was to identify how the authorities of the selected cities incorporate smart-city and 4T-capital topics into local policies to achieve decarbonization goals. The study was based on surveys of residents and municipal employees and on an analysis of local documents and environmental data of pollutions.
