Abstract: The main focus of this research has been on examining the renewable energy sources (RESs) consumption with respect to green consumer values (GCVs). These GCVs have primarily been examined with regard to different products and services. The most significant strategy for strengthening everyone is social education. While GCVs are assumed to be nurtured through education, specific understanding about the long-term benefits of renewable energy for a sustainable life is measured with the belief that the greater the training and development the better shaped the society can be, which boosts morale and increases their energy reliance with RES, assessed by the respondents of Uttar Pradesh (UP), as the outcome of the research. The implications for the stakeholders are the long-term advantages of renewable energy for a sustainable existence, since a society may be better formed and its reliance on RESs for energy rises the more training and development it receives. The advantages are visible, though we may not be able to completely transition soon, but it is crucial that we think for the future. The quantitative research method applies statistical analyses, such as ANOVA, spectral analysis, and multilayer perceptron analysis, justifying the requirement of education. The results justify that the solution to this problem—that green consumer values are being learned—can be nurtured by societal education. Learning about green consumer values can make society understand the renewable energy benefits, which can better shape society and lead to capacity building.
