This study examines the impact of the partnership level and inter-organizational co-operation between government (federal, state, local), public agencies, private companies and local communities on overcoming non-technical barriers towards commercialization of renewable energy (RE) technologies. Specifically, this study attempts to identify how partnership synergy can be achieved among stakeholders and its impact on successful commercialization of RE technologies. This study has made several contributions to the literature, in particular to collective economic synergy theory and dynamic capabilities. It also conceptualized and provided a unique measure of the level of stakeholders’ partnership synergy. The theoretical framework produced in this study can help the broad array of people and organizations that fund and participate in RE projects maximize the return on their investment by realizing the full advantage of collaboration with other RE stakeholders.The study produced several interesting results: (i) a model was developed that analyzes the role of partnership synergy on technology commercialization, conceptualizing the relationships among partnership drivers, partnership synergy, resources, and commercialization performance; (ii) the major drivers motivating stakeholders of RE projects have been identified and differences between those were recognized; (iii) a novel theoretical and analytical basis of commercialization through partnership and synergy has been established; (iv) interrelated effects of partnership synergy, dynamic capabilities and technology implementation mechanisms on various performance measures of project success have also been identified Overall, this study and its conceptual model provide a richer understanding of the factors that lead to successful commercialization of RE technologies, possibly applicable to other infrastructural projects, as well.
