• Geographies of energy transition: Space, place and the low-carbon economy (2013, background): “energy companies, for example, analysis suggests the centralised structure of these organisations constrains their ability to deliver both decentralised renewable investment (Mitchell, 2007) and the demand-side activity that is a key piece of UK policy on improving the efficiency of gas and electric”
• Governing community energy: feed-in tariffs and the development of community wind energy schemes in the United Kingdom and Germany (2013, background): “This is an unintended consequence of liberalisation, the 'dash for gas' in the 1990s and the more general lack of energy infrastructure investments resulting in the 'energy gap' (MacKay, 2010;Mitchell, 2008).”
• The Erratic Path of the Low-Carbon Transition in China: Evolution of Solar Pv Policy (2014, methodology): “Policy solutions in the form of agencies and instruments are formulated within the framework provided by the paradigm and such solutions are usually consistent with the paradigm (Hall, 1993; Mitchell, 2008; Kuzemko, 2013).”
• National and Sub-national Policies and Institutions (2014, background): “Policy paradigms and their institutions can also serve to 21 limit the entry of new ideas (Radaelli and Schmidt, 2004; Mitchell, 2010); the way in which 22 institutions are constituted can determine the set of policies that are discussed at all (Radaelli and 23 Schmidt, 2004, p.”
• Organisation and Governance of Urban Energy Systems: District Heating and Cooling in the UK (2013, background): “Much of this infrastructure remains, and the liberalised market structures which have emerged around existing plant favour the large incumbent companies (Mitchell, 2008; Toke & Fragaki, 2008; Kelly & Pollit, 2010).”
• A socio-technical perspective on low carbon investment challenges – Insights for UK energy policy (2015, background): “…the ‘hands off’ relationship which emerged since the 1980s between government and the industry has been basic assumptions of neo-classical economic theory (Mitchell, 2008) – that investment is most efficiently made by private actors on the basis of price signals mediated through the energy markets.”
• Varieties of capitalism and clean energy transitions in the European Union: When renewable energy hits different economic logics (2016, background): “The reasons for this can largely be attributed to the in-built reluctance of the UK political-economic setting towards non-market and targeted industrial policy measures (Mitchell, 2008; Mitchell & Connor, 2004) and the related resistance of interests groups, such as the Energy Intensive Users Group”
• The (non-)politics of managing low carbon socio-technical transitions (2009, background): “The major implication of this diagnosis relates to system-level visions and priorities: if renewables are to be expanded, a more decentralised system appears appropriate and commitments to a centralised incumbent regime become problematic (Mitchell 2007).”
• Financing the civic energy sector: How financial institutions affect ownership models in Germany and the United Kingdom (2016, unknown): “As Mitchell [41] and Smith demonstrate; the political economy of different nation states permeate into the institutions of energy system transitions.”
