Abstract: It is important that individuals use infusion of smart grid-related technology to its full potential in their life, from the perspectives of individuals as well as firms and society. Firms can expand the market of their products and services, and create new wealth and jobs; infusion of smart grid-related technology promotes a sustainable society. The present study empirically analyzes the process of diffusing the smart grid-related technology by using data collected from participants in a Jeju smart grid testbed or a carbon-free island project in Jeju, South Korea. Ten hypotheses regarding the relationships between awareness of smart grid-related technology; the coping process, including appraisal and adaptive acts; and infusion are tested. Policy implications are suggested.
