“…Currently, studies describing the economic growth model of Alaska refute the allocation of energy resources as a development factor. It is empirically confirmed that energy resources have only an indirect impact on long-term economic growth through such a parameter as investment in fixed assets (Bekareva et al, 2018). Almost 104,000 jobs in Alaska are associated with investments and activities in the field of oil and natural gas—32% of all jobs and 35% of all wages in Alaska (Lutz, 2019).…”

Countries with a large energy sector are faced with the issues of forming and developing a state energy policy that takes into account not only sectoral and intersectoral aspects, but also the components of managing significant amounts of rental income. In this regard, any of these economic systems, on the one hand, has great opportunities associated with the management of energy resources as a factor of development, on the other hand, it is constantly at risk of destabilization of the economic system as a whole. To date, the economic history allows us to speak about the accumulation of a sufficient number of observations for conducting a comprehensive study of the features of the development of public energy policies. The study is based on the formalization of historical descriptions of the experience of 24 countries (30 cases). The article describes in detail the experience of 13 of the most striking cases. This made it possible to identify 14 variables for evaluating the state energy policy, while outlining three areas (areas of attention) of public administration. The choice of variables used in the model was made on the basis of the relative frequencies of the mechanism application for the observed population, MNRW-TF recommendations within the improving extractive industry, the formation of the contribution of resource industries to the socio-economic development of the country and etc. Further cluster analysis led to the identification of both a pronounced polarity in the development of the state energy policy and options for combining its areas.

“…Based on a report released by the UAE government in 2015, the country's daily electricity demand is approximately 20-30 kw-h. Given the continuous expanding economy, the overall energy demand is projected to grow by up to 9% annually (Alshami and Sabahm, 2020).…”

United Arab Emirates (UAE) has implemented the UAE Energy Strategy 2050, targeting a 50% increase in renewable energy's contribution by 2050. Steps to achieve this strategy include accelerating efficient consumption of energy and focusing on research and development for sustainable energy solutions. This research aims to investigate the potential improvement in the performance of PV systems as a result of panel’s water-cooling under the UAE climatic conditions. In this work, a PV system consists of two identical 100-W PV panels and an automated water cooling arrangement was built. To assess the effectiveness of the cooling method used, one PV panel was subjected to water cooling, while the other remained uncooled in order to be taken as a benchmark. The experiments took place over a typical summer day during the period between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm. The proposed cooling strategy was repeatedly applied every half an hour to investigate the temperature reduction behavior at different times of the day. The experimental results demonstrated that the adopted water approach was able to achieve a temperature drop of up to 14.6 K. The corresponding power output was improved by up to 12% as a result of the PV panel cooling.

“…Energy consumption per capita is one of the significant indicators of economic development (Esen and Bayrak, 2017). In recent times, energy consumption has significantly increased in many countries due to population growth, urbanisation and increasing levels of industrialisation (Alshami and Sabah, 2019).The most widely used energy sources for the generation of electricity in many countries are fossil fuels especially coal, oil and natural gas (Yildiz, 2018). Although the production and use of environmentally friendly renewable sources have increased, fossil fuels are still of vital importance in meeting global energy needs (International Energy Agency, 2021).…”

Antecedents of Workplace Energy Saving Behaviour: An Integration of the Theory of Planned Behaviour and Norm Activation Model

Hotels are energy intensive facilities and have contributed to environmental problems such as high consumption of natural resources, high emissions of carbon dioxide and waste pollution. Therefore, it is important to understand the factors that can reduce energy (electricity) consumptions in hotels. The study examined the antecedents of employee energy saving behaviour in hotels by integrating the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) and the Norm Activation model (NAM). Data was collected from the respondents through the cross-sectional survey method. The Partial Least Square Structural Equation modelling (PLS SEM) was used to analyse data and test the hypotheses. The results indicated that two TPB constructs (attitude and perceived behavioural control) are significantly positively related to energy saving intention. In addition, three NAM constructs (awareness of consequences, ascription of responsibility and personal norm) are significantly positively related to energy saving intention. Energy saving behaviour is influenced by intention. Recommendations focus on awareness about the negative effects of energy consumption on the environment through education and training.
