PV project | ID | Statement |
---|---|---|
Economy | 1 | The project would probably have been worthwhile if other factors had been included, such as tourism, not just the revenues of energy production. |
2 | If I have to pay much more for solar power than for conventional electricity, I prefer not to do so. | |
3 | Building the power line for the solar project would have been too expensive. | |
Technology | 4 | The PV project in St. Antönien could have been a model for solar systems over avalanche defenses in Switzerland. |
5 | If more solar panels could be built (3.5 MW instead of 1 MW), the costs would not have been a problem. | |
6 | It is not suitable to have any additional use in the avalanche defenses. | |
7 | The test installation was good for the project, because it showed that the solar system can withstand heavy snowfall. | |
8 | The engineers have underestimated the difficulties. | |
Environment | 9 | Since the solar system was planned for existing avalanches, there would be no additional impact on the landscape or residents. |
Social | 10 | Our village, St. Antönien, was too small to realize such a project. |
11 | Local residents know best what the community needs. | |
Policy process | 12 | The initiators were unable to present the project in detail; they did not know exactly how the project would go on. |
Decision-making process | ||
Economy | 13 | The project lost the pioneering character because of the delay in getting the grant. |
14 | The financing activities, such as the sale of certificates and crowdfunding, were successful. | |
15 | They worked too slowly; it led to rising costs. | |
Technology | 16 | For me it was a warning when the electricity companies stepped out of the project. |
Environment | 17 | My main motivation in the project was to produce renewable energies in St. Antönien. |
18 | I was afraid that the environmental associations found rare species of plants or animals up in the mountain and said that the power lines could not be built. | |
Social | 19 | We could have made an ecological contribution; our region could have significantly gained value. |
20 | In the course of the project, I was insecure. | |
Policy process | 21 | All stakeholders should be involved in decision-making. |
22 | I was always very well informed by the municipality. | |
23 | The low agreement at the end of the project process was largely due to the fact that the initiators underestimated the complexity of the decision-making process. | |
Energy Policy | ||
Economy | 24 | It would have been easy to sell the solar power produced in St. Antönien. |
25 | I am sure that the electricity producers are currently having big financial problems and will not give any bank loans for electricity projects. | |
26 | I can understand that the Confederation did not support financially the project | |
27 | The canton should have supported the project financially. | |
Technology | 28 | I think the planned nuclear phase-out of Switzerland is wrong. |
29 | In Switzerland, we should improve energy efficiency (equipment, roof insulation). | |
Environment | 30 | In Switzerland, we have to produce much more renewable energy. |
Social | 31 | The energy transition will not be so easy to implement; there are too many people and lobbyists involved. |
32 | Local interests are enough taken into account at national level. | |
Policy process | 33 | The confederation would have to rethink the concept of the energy strategy because at the moment it is not clear. |
34 | The many regulatory bodies in Switzerland made the project process complex. |
