A battle over smart standards: Compatibility, governance, and innovation in home energy management systems and smart meters in the Netherlands
This paper aims to find which factors could affect the outcome of this standards war in the Netherlands, and determine which protocol has more chances to achieve dominance. The factors that were determined as most important are compatibility, big fish, current installed base, and complementary goods, whereas, counterintuitively, technology superiority is one of the least relevant factors.

Investigating decentralized renewable energy systems under different governance approaches in Nepal and Indonesia: How does governance fail?
The project’s promotion under a conventional central government-led framework resulted in a process of granting renewable energy plants to local governments without considering stakeholders. In the Nepalese case, a renewable energy project was designed using a polycentric approach to governance.

Unpacking authoritarian governance in electricity policy: Understanding progress, inconsistency and stagnation in Tanzania
The article demonstrates that centralised, fragmented regimes contain weaknesses in their ability to implement policy and pursue long-term development, whilst centralised dominant regimes have a weakness from supressing critique. Overall, this reinforces the importance of analysing the manifestation of political power within the ruling elite, and the way this shapes key political pressures and policymaking horizons.

Top-down sustainability transitions in action: How do incumbent actors drive electric mobility diffusion in China, Japan, and California?
Incumbent firms are frequently portrayed as hampering change, while managerial strategies using traditional public policy instruments remain understudied. Addressing this bias, we examine strategies used by networks of incumbent state and industry actors in China, Japan and California to accelerate the production and diffusion of battery-electric or hydrogen-powered vehicles.

Energy plans in practice: The making of thermal energy storage in urban Denmark
This paper followed the process of realizing a sector-coupling investment in a thermal energy storage in Copenhagen from 2017 to 2020. The analysis shows that while plans may help to define technological qualities and purposes, they do not always convince actors. Plans simultaneously close down technological uncertainty and open up others and through this cycle the energy planning process moves forward.
