ABSTRACT
The importance of increasing the level of renewable energy sources is connected with the fact that its share in the total volume of energy consumption is still insufficient. This is why this article focuses on the development of the motivation system aimed at the more active transition to renewable sources consumption in the balanced combination alongside the traditional sources. The research question is whether digital public goods (DPG) may be a mean to support “Affordable and Clean Energy’’ use. The theoretical approach to our research problem is stakeholder’s theory, while the concept applied to the motivation mechanism implementation is the United Nations Organization’s concept of sustainable development goals (SDG). The research design is as follows: study of the actual data of energy structure of the world economy; identification of the current instruments of renewable energy distribution; analysis of the DPG as a perspective form of the sustainable energy behavior introduced [AO1] in the digitalized environment; definition of the energy industry stakeholders; development of the architecture of energy consumption by DPG application to reach SDG “Affordable and Clean Energy”. The main findings of the study are that DPG has been found to be a relevant means for the motivation and support of sustainable energy behavior through the architecture of energy consumption, based on research and development, customer relationship management, corporate social responsibility – sustainable development, technical implementation, and the diversity of traditional and alternative sources of energy.

Cyfrowe dobra publiczne jako sposób wspierania niedrogiej i czystej energii

Znaczenie zwiększania poziomu OZE wiąże się z tym, że ich udział w całkowitym wolumenie zużycia energii jest wciąż niewystarczający. Dlatego w niniejszym artykule skupiono się na rozwoju systemu motywacyjnego ukierunkowanego na bardziej aktywne przejście na zużycie ze źródeł odnawialnych w zrównoważonym połączeniu obok źródeł tradycyjnych. Pytanie badawcze brzmi: czy cyfrowe dobra publiczne mogą być środkiem wspierającym korzystanie z „niedrogiej i czystej energii”? Teoretyczne podejście do naszego problemu badawczego to teoria interesariuszy, natomiast koncepcja stosowana do wdrażania mechanizmu motywacji to koncepcja celów zrównoważonego rozwoju Organizacji Narodów Zjednoczonych. Projekt badań jest następujący: badanie rzeczywistych danych dotyczących struktury energetycznej gospodarki światowej; identyfikacja obecnych instrumentów dystrybucji energii odnawialnej; analiza cyfrowych dóbr publicznych jako perspektywicznej formy zachowań związanych ze zrównoważoną energią wprowadzaną w zdigitalizowanym środowisku; definicja interesariuszy z branży energetycznej; opracowanie architektury zużycia energii przez aplikację DPG w celu osiągnięcia celu zrównoważonego rozwoju „niedrogiej i czystej energii”. Główne wnioski z badania są takie, że cyfrowe dobra publiczne zostały uznane za odpowiedni środek motywowania i wspierania zrównoważonych zachowań energetycznych poprzez architekturę zużycia energii, opartą na badaniach i rozwoju, zarządzaniu relacjami z klientami, społecznej odpowiedzialności biznesu – zrównoważony rozwój, realizację techniczną oraz różnorodność tradycyjnych i alternatywnych źródeł energii.
