From laggard to leader: Explaining offshore wind developments in the UK (2014, background): “The socio-technical potential 4 For example the UK transition pathways consortium developed a number of scenarios and the ‘Thousand flowers’ scenario contains a very small share of OSW only and instead relies much more on distributed generation and energy efficiency (Foxon 2013).”
Deep transitions: Emergence, acceleration, stabilization and directionality (2018, neutral): “Further methodological work is needed on how qualitative socio-technical scenarios and quantitative modelling (Foxon, 2013; McDowall, 2014) can be combined to probe the possible futures related to the Second Deep Transition.”
Infrastructure transformation as a socio-technical process — Implications for the governance of energy distribution networks in the UK (2015, neutral): “The future of energy distribution in the context of the 2050 low carbon transition is of course highly uncertain and likely to be shaped by a range of innovations in other areas of the energy chain (generation, transmission, end use), along with changes to the wider regulatory and policy frameworks ”
A socio-technical perspective on low carbon investment challenges – Insights for UK energy policy (2015, methodology): “The final stages of pathway construction involved an assessment of the technical feasibility of the scenarios (for a fuller technical assessment of the pathways see: Foxon, 2013, Barton et al., 2013).”
UNFCCC before and after Paris – what's necessary for an effective climate regime? (2017, background): “‘Their behaviour is co-determined by a set of routines or practices that actors and institutions use and that create and reinforce [ . . . ] particular technological system[s]’ (Foxon, 2013, p. 11).”
Investing in low-carbon transitions: energy finance as an adaptive market (2017, background): “However, these studies treat the availability of capital for system transitions as given; if only the right risk and return ratios can be created by energy policy, low-carbon transitions will present cogent profit opportunities, which finance capital will exploit.”
Renewables, nuclear, or fossil fuels? Scenarios for Great Britain’s power system considering costs, emissions and energy security (2015, background): “While energy system models are one approach to generating scenarios, there are two main approaches for managing them: one where a small set of (often narrative) scenarios are carefully crafted [11], and the other, where a large number of scenarios are generated computationally and analyzed for salie”
Shale gas policy in the United Kingdom: An argumentative discourse analysis (2014, background): “In the academic and policy literatures, it is posited that different assemblages of technologies, fuel sources, policies and communities of practice co-evolve to produce multiple “pathways” through which to achieve the decarbonisation and decentralisation of energy systems (Foxon, 2013).”
Financing the civic energy sector: How financial institutions affect ownership models in Germany and the United Kingdom (2016, neutral): “Previous research has examined the effects of different governance and institutional framings on national energy system transitions [1] [12].”
