• Developing transition pathways for a low carbon electricity system in the UK (2008, background): “The earlier target, a 60% reduction in CO2 emissions, was first formally made in the 2003 Energy White Paper, but without any strong supporting institutional structure to ensure a pathway to this target [26].”
• The slow search for solutions: lessons from historical energy transitions by sector and service (2010, background): “Inevitably, the government and other stakeholders have a central role to play in the diffusion of low carbon technologies (Foxon and Pearson 2007).”
• Learning or Lock-In: Optimal Technology Policies to Support Mitigation (2011, background): “In the context of global warming, research has focused on lock-in into fossil fuel technologies exacerbating the switch to carbon-free energy (Unruh, 2000, 2002; Foxon and Pearson, 2007; Schmidt and Marschinski, 2009).”
• Policy mixes for sustainability transitions: An extended concept and framework for analysis (2016, background): “Second, it needs to more explicitly incorporate policy processes “by which policies emerge, interact and have effects” (Flanagan et al., 2011, p. 702) since such processes and related politics help explain the evolution of policy mixes, but also the resulting effects (Foxon and Pearson, 2007, 2008).”
• The enactment of socio-technical transition pathways: A reformulated typology and a comparative multi-level analysis of the German and UK low-carbon electricity transitions (1990–2014) (2016, background): “Although renewable electricity grew from 3.0% in 2002 to 5.8% in 2008, renewables policy had several flaws, including incentives for utilities to underperform (Toke, 2005), uncertainties over longer-term policy commitment (Wood and Dow, 2011), and neglect of innovation (Foxon and Pearson, 2007 .”
• Public policy influence on renewable energy investments—A panel data study across OECD countries (2015, background): “This is partially due to the challenge the diffusion of RE technology represents (Foxon and Pearson, 2007; Friebe et al., 2014, 2013; Veugelers, 2011).”
• Infrastructure transformation as a socio-technical process — Implications for the governance of energy distribution networks in the UK (2015, unknown): “anthropogenic climate change along with concerns over energy security and fossil fuel depletion have prompted much discussion over the need to accelerate transformational change towards low carbon energy systems [31,32].”
• Exploring the role of phase-out policies for low-carbon energy transitions: the case of the German Energiewende (2017, unknown): “Given various barriers, lock-ins, path dependencies and resistance to low-carbon energy transitions further government intervention in steering them is required [4,20,64 – 71] (see also Bergek et al. in this issue).”
