Factors influencing Somalia household's willingness to pay renewable energy: employing structural equation modeling.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This study used PLS path analysis and structural equation modelling (SEM) to examine the factors influencing Somali households' willingness to pay for renewable energy. Non-probability purposive sampling was used in a quantitative survey to select respondents from Mogadishu, the capital city of Somalia. 300 home power bill payers who were informed about energy costs and renewable energy requirements were given a standardized closed-ended questionnaire. Following data cleaning, SPSS version-25 and SmartPLS-4 were used to analyze 255 valid replies using descriptive and inferential statistics. With an R2 of 0.428, the structural model has moderate explanatory power, accounting for 42.8% of the variance in willingness to pay for renewable energy. The model's robustness is confirmed by an adjusted R2 of 0.402. The findings showed that consumer intention, environmental concern, perceived behavioral control, subjective norms, and Attitude have a positive significant impact on willingness to pay for renewable energy. Belief about the cost of renewable energy shows no significant relationship with willingness to pay for renewable energy. The results of the moderation analysis indicate that the relationships between environmental concern, subjective norms, and attitude with willingness to pay for renewable energy are considerably moderated by customer intention. However, the relationship between perceived behavioral control and belief about the cost of renewable energy with willingness to pay for renewable energy is not moderated by consumer intention. The findings offer policymakers and renewable energy stakeholders insights to increase adoption rates.
