ABSTRACT:
This study investigates the conflicts surrounding the advancement of renewable energy technologies, utilizing a sample of 200 questionnaires to gather data. The research is grounded in a conceptual framework that explores the key challenges and barriers to the adoption and development of renewable energy, such as technological, financial, and social factors. Data analysis was conducted using the simple percentage method, which helped quantify the responses and identify trends within the data. The findings reveal that major conflicts arise from high initial investment costs, inadequate infrastructure, and a lack of public awareness about renewable energy benefits. Additionally, policy and regulatory uncertainties were cited as significant barriers to the growth of renewable energy sectors. Based on these findings, the study recommends that governments implement clearer and more consistent policies, invest in infrastructure development, and launch educational campaigns to raise awareness about the importance and potential of renewable energy technologies. Furthermore, financial incentives and subsidies should be introduced to reduce the cost burden on both businesses and consumers.
