Electricity demand-side management (DSM) programs are becoming increasingly important to energy system managers in advanced industrialized countries, especially those with high renewable energy penetration. As energy user participation is paramount for their success but has proven to be difficult to obtain, we explore the usefulness of the ‘social license’ concept, originally developed in the mining sector, to refer to the process of creating acceptance in DSM programs aimed at managing or controlling household energy resources such EVs, batteries, and heating and cooling devices. We argue that analyzing the attainment or lack of ‘social license’ may be useful to energy policy-makers and researchers for understanding public concerns with not only supply-side energy resources, but also DSM. We do so by (1) drawing attention to potential frictions between demands for flexibility on the one hand and social practices and habits on the other; (2) attending to the ways that users’ engagement in DSM programs is influenced by their sense of control and agency, and their trust in program providers; and (3) exploring the ways that users may understand their stake in the energy system and may participate in programs as collectives rather than simply as individuals. We argue that a ‘social license to automate’ could not only describe a set of tools to manage participation in DSM projects, but rather assess the ways users effectively feel part of new energy systems designed to serve them.

自动化的社会许可:对新兴电力需求管理方法的批判性审查

电力需求侧管理 (DSM) 计划对于发达工业化国家的能源系统管理者变得越来越重要,尤其是那些可再生能源渗透率高的国家。由于能源用户的参与对于他们的成功至关重要,但事实证明很难获得,我们探讨了最初在采矿部门开发的“社会许可”概念的有用性,以指代 DSM 计划中创建接受度的过程,旨在管理或控制家庭能源,例如电动汽车、电池以及加热和冷却设备。我们认为,分析“社会许可”的实现或缺乏可能有助于能源政策制定者和研究人员了解公众对供应方能源和 DSM 的担忧。我们这样做是通过 (1) 提请注意一方面对灵活性的需求与另一方面的社会实践和习惯之间的潜在摩擦;(2) 关注用户参与 DSM 节目的方式受到他们的控制感和代理感的影响,以及他们对节目提供者的信任;(3) 探索用户如何理解他们在能源系统中的利益,并可以作为集体而不是作为个人参与项目。我们认为,“自动化社会许可”不仅可以描述一组管理参与 DSM 项目的工具,还可以评估用户有效地感受到旨在为他们服务的新能源系统的一部分的方式。(2) 关注用户参与 DSM 节目的方式受到他们的控制感和代理感的影响,以及他们对节目提供者的信任;(3) 探索用户如何理解他们在能源系统中的利益,并可以作为集体而不是作为个人参与项目。我们认为,“自动化社会许可”不仅可以描述一组管理参与 DSM 项目的工具,还可以评估用户有效地感受到旨在为他们服务的新能源系统的一部分的方式。(2) 关注用户参与 DSM 节目的方式受到他们的控制感和代理感的影响,以及他们对节目提供者的信任;(3) 探索用户如何理解他们在能源系统中的利益,并可以作为集体而不是作为个人参与项目。我们认为,“自动化社会许可”不仅可以描述一组管理参与 DSM 项目的工具,还可以评估用户有效地感受到旨在为他们服务的新能源系统的一部分的方式。
