Infrastructure transformation as a socio-technical process — Implications for the governance of energy distribution networks in the UK (2015, unknown): “However, there have been surprisingly few studies which explicitly explore the network components of energy systems – the pipes and wires – which have unique technical and institutional characteristics [9,33,56,58].”
Putting an energy system transformation into practice: The case of the German Energiewende (2016, background): “However, in reality energy infrastructures are rigid and inert systems due to high degrees of capital intensity, considerable regulation, long life times of physical assets and strong complementarity between system components [5].”
The interplay of institutions, actors and technologies in socio-technical systems — An analysis of transformations in the Australian urban water sector (2016, background): “Since infrastructure sectors show a particular proximity to public actors and are characterized by high regulation (Markard, 2011), political work is a crucial form of agency that highly determines the development of such sectors.”
