The energy landscape is changing dramatically. It populated by many different and discrete transitions happening simultaneously in across sectors, with dynamically drivers, varying locations. This Perspective proposes a new three-part categorization to help better understand the myriad sociotechnical changes being witnessed, which cut user market behaviour as well institutions technologies. We express three categories: Interim transitions, shaped policies without necessarily public...

Abstract Background The rising need for transition towards more sustainable energy sources requires a rethink in the governance of systems. Arguably, policy makers have very important roles governing transitions any given society through established institutional frameworks. It has also been argued that infrastructure choices are determined by dynamics and structures. However, what underlying influences required to change systems lessons can we draw from them transition? This study focuses...

These are: (1) granting access historical data; (2) regulations;...

Addressing global challenges, such as climate change and other related environmental concerns, requires a rethink in the organization of production consumption processes. This also includes electricity consumption. The need for greater competitiveness provision critical infrastructure (including electricity) is challenge. has led to liberalization many markets across world. In this paper, following an exploratory study nine countries Africa, Asia, South America, common features that...

Following decades’ of energy systems interventions, there has been growing concerns about the impact historical interventions on-the-ground and how they shape changes in systems. Who are key actors have shaped interventions? In this study, an analysis stakeholders Nigeria’s electricity sector through a social network mapping lens was conducted. First, stakeholder based on interest-influence matrix that shows degree various interest influence shaping decisions both centralized decentralized...

Abstract Using field observation and focus group semi-structured interviews, we explored rural electrification dynamics within a community setting. We investigated the issues surrounding emergence, deployment, operation management of solar minigrid technology Yebu in Federal Capital Territory, north-central Nigeria, associated that emerged over time. The study revealed that: (1) many energy access interventions do not have viable business sustainability plan guarantees long term impact; (2)...
