Transitions toward a low-carbon future are not only technical and economical, but also deeply social gendered. The gendered nature of energy transitions is often implicit unexplored. As corrective, this paper explores pathways by applying concepts from innovations gender studies. We examine perspectives niche which could disrupt the regime. regime represents mainstream pathway that includes dominant perspective system. explore different transition an Alternative Pathways framework includes:...

The ongoing expansion of renewable energies entails major spatial reconfigurations with social, environmental, and political dimensions. These emerging geographies are, however, in the process taking shape, as their early configurations are still open to democratic intervention contestation. While a recent line research highlights prominent role that maps playing directing such processes, potential effects countermapping on these evolving have not yet been explored. In this article, we...

Solar energy has become the world's cheapest and fastest scaling electricity source. Multiple societal sectors are electrifying, scale pace of change give some hope near-future rapid climate mitigation through solar rollouts despite bleak record to date. Critiques utility-scale development foreground injustices like displacing marginalised groups perpetuating resource inequity. Governance scholars argue for stringent regulations towards just transitions, community research shows that...

This perspective piece sets to contribute the academic and practitioner debates around energy democracy in age of climate crisis. In tackling present-day transition challenges a democratic, equitable, just sustainable manner, we argue that sound research shall take alternative currents centralized access control decision making at its core as well exploring new novel ways deal with production distribution issues. Critical on actors, materialities, values, worldviews, democracy, justice is...
