| Summary: | Purpose:
The main aim of this study is to investigate the effect of stakeholder engagement dimensions on the success of Solar PV projects in Pahang.
Design/methodology/approach:
The study started with a qualitative phase to create a conceptual framework, followed by a survey of solar PV firms registered with SEDA. The survey data were analyzed using PLS-SEM to explore the relationships between different stakeholder engagement dimensions. RII Analysis was then used to rank the importance of each dimension and determine which factors most influenced the success of solar PV projects in Pahang.
Findings:
The findings revealed that all stakeholder engagement dimensions—stakeholder relations, stakeholder communication, stakeholder learning, and stakeholder integration—positively and significantly contributed to the success of solar PV projects. Among these,stakeholder relations scored the highest, followed by stakeholder communication, stakeholder integration, and, finally, stakeholder learning.
Research limitations/implications:
The study is limited by its focus on solar PV projects inPahang, Malaysia, which may not apply to other regions. It involved a small sample size of 85 respondents, which might not capture the full diversity of the industry.
Practical implications:
The determinants of stakeholder engagement dimensions will benefit renewable energy players and aid regulatory bodies in policy-making, supporting Malaysia's
target to achieve a 70% renewable energy share of installed capacity by 2050.
Originality/value:
This study focuses on how various aspects of stakeholder engagement influence the success of solar PV projects in Pahang, Malaysia. This topic has been underexplored in this context. It provides valuable insights for local firms and policymakers, utilizing advanced methods like PLS-SEM and RII Analysis to evaluate and rank these engagement factors. |
