This study examines California's Community Power Resiliency Program, a state-funded initiative designed to strengthen the resilience of disadvantaged communities against energy loss. This study reviews the 2019–20 and 2020–21 funding cycles, analyzing disparities in funding allocation, the effectiveness of resilience investments, and the administrative and technical challenges faced by smaller jurisdictions. Through qualitative analysis of interviews and program documentation, this study evaluates how locally administered, grant-funded projects mitigated power outage impacts on public health, safety, and commerce. Findings reveal that while the investments provided short-term relief, long-term sustainability remains a challenge, particularly for under-resourced communities and tribal communities. Key barriers include complex application processes, inconsistent reporting requirements, and restrictions on fund usage, limiting local flexibility in resilience planning. The findings provide recommendations for policymakers to enhance future funding distribution, balancing immediate relief with long-term resilience. This research underscores the policy need for sustained funding and expanded investment in infrastructure to strengthen energy justice through both emergency preparedness and long-term resilience.

这项研究考察了加州的社区电力恢复计划，这是一项由国家资助的倡议，旨在加强弱势社区对能源损失的恢复能力。本研究回顾了2019 - 2020年和2020-21年的资金周期，分析了资金分配的差异、韧性投资的有效性以及较小司法管辖区面临的行政和技术挑战。通过访谈和项目文件的定性分析，本研究评估了地方管理、拨款资助的项目如何减轻停电对公共卫生、安全和商业的影响。调查结果显示，虽然投资提供了短期救济，但长期可持续性仍然是一个挑战，特别是对资源不足的社区和部落社区。主要障碍包括复杂的申请流程、不一致的报告要求和对资金使用的限制，限制了地方在弹性规划方面的灵活性。研究结果为政策制定者提供了建议，以加强未来的资金分配，平衡即时救济和长期恢复力。这项研究强调，政策需要持续提供资金并扩大对基础设施的投资，以便通过应急准备和长期复原力加强能源正义。

This paper examines how the expansion of public charging infrastructure influences electric vehicle (EV) adoption across income levels. Using county-level panel data from Washington State (2019–2023), we estimate the marginal effect of new chargers on EV uptake and test for heterogeneity by income and charger type. We find that charger deployment increases EV adoption, but the effect is concentrated in high-income counties. Fast chargers generate larger and more widely distributed adoption gains than slower charging options, and income consistently conditions these effects. These patterns appear only in the battery electric vehicle (BEV) market; comparable models for plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) show no significant relationships. Robustness checks also indicate that charger deployment drives BEV growth rather than responding to it. These results highlight both the central role of infrastructure in enabling decarbonized transport and the risk that exclusive reliance on chargers may widen inequities, underscoring the need for complementary policies that expand access to zero-emission mobility. Charging investments alone may not yield equitable adoption outcomes and underscore the importance of complementary policies that address barriers to entry beyond charging availability.

本文研究了公共充电基础设施的扩张如何影响不同收入水平的电动汽车（EV）的采用。利用华盛顿州（2019-2023）的县级面板数据，我们估计了新充电器对电动汽车吸收的边际效应，并测试了收入和充电器类型的异质性。我们发现，充电器的部署增加了电动汽车的使用率，但这种影响主要集中在高收入国家。与慢速充电相比，快速充电带来了更大、更广泛的采用收益，而收入一直制约着这些影响。这些模式只出现在纯电动汽车（BEV）市场；插电式混合动力汽车（phev）的可比模型没有显示出显著的关系。稳健性检查还表明，充电器的部署推动了纯电动汽车的增长，而不是对其做出反应。这些结果强调了基础设施在实现脱碳运输方面的核心作用，以及完全依赖充电器可能扩大不平等的风险，强调了扩大零排放交通的补充政策的必要性。仅靠收费投资可能无法产生公平的采用结果，并强调了解决收费可用性之外的进入壁垒的补充政策的重要性。

The heterogeneous impact of energy subsidy reform: The ill-targeted nature of energy subsidies in Mongolia 能源补贴改革的异质影响：蒙古能源补贴的非针对性

The Mongolian energy sector faces mounting difficulties, with infrastructure dating back to the Soviet era and increasing energy demand surpassing installed capacity. The Government of Mongolia has begun implementing energy sector reforms, including significant increases in electricity tariffs. However, there is a lack of studies assessing the impact of these changes on inflation and household living costs. This study fills this void by estimating the heterogeneous impact of energy subsidy removal on inflation and household living costs using a behavioral microsimulation model based on the Household Socio-Economic Survey and the Input-Output Table data. Our findings reveal that current electricity subsidies disproportionately benefit richer households. The complete removal of these subsidies will impose an additional 3.4 % burden on the poorest decile, compared to 1.8 % on the richest decile, while the average increase in household expenditures will be 2.7 %. Eliminating these subsidies could increase poverty rates and economic inequality. Interestingly, the government's policy of moderately increasing household electricity prices, shifting some of the burden to the industrial sector, and maintaining subsidies for heating and briquettes still imposes a comparable burden on household expenses. Although this policy framework reduces the financial burden on low-income populations, it unfairly impacts the livelihoods of rural populations, particularly herders, who do not benefit from energy subsidies, by fueling overall inflation. To mitigate these adverse effects, we recommend targeted support measures for vulnerable populations.

蒙古能源行业面临越来越多的困难，该国的基础设施可以追溯到苏联时代，而日益增长的能源需求超过了装机容量。蒙古政府已开始实施能源部门改革，包括大幅提高电价。然而，缺乏评估这些变化对通货膨胀和家庭生活成本影响的研究。本研究利用基于家庭社会经济调查和投入产出表数据的行为微观模拟模型，估计了能源补贴取消对通货膨胀和家庭生活成本的异质影响，填补了这一空白。我们的研究结果表明，目前的电力补贴不成比例地惠及较富裕的家庭。完全取消这些补贴将给最贫穷的十分之一人口带来3.4%的额外负担，而最富有的十分之一人口的负担为1.8%，而家庭支出的平均增幅将为2.7%。取消这些补贴可能会增加贫困率和经济不平等。有趣的是，政府适度提高家庭电价、将部分负担转移给工业部门、维持取暖和煤球补贴的政策，仍然对家庭开支造成了相当的负担。虽然这一政策框架减轻了低收入人口的经济负担，但它通过助长总体通货膨胀，不公平地影响了农村人口的生计，特别是无法从能源补贴中受益的牧民。为了减轻这些不利影响，我们建议针对弱势群体采取有针对性的支持措施。

Indonesia's LTS-LCCR, 2nd NDC and RUPTL imply deep changes in the power sector, yet coal still dominates generation and current policies appear insufficient. This study applies the OSeMOSYS model to analyse five scenarios for 2015–2050. For each pathway we quantify total discounted system costs, emissions and marginal abatement costs, and test robustness through ±20% renewable capital cost and natural gas price sensitivities and discount rate variations. The results show that Indonesia's existing carbon tax of USD 1.8/tCO₂ leaves the generation mix and emissions almost unchanged relative to business as usual, while a high carbon price delivers low cost abatement mainly through coal to gas switching but does not achieve deep decarbonisation and is highly exposed to gas price volatility. Renewable pathways achieve the largest emissions reductions and approach a near zero carbon power system, with moderate MACs but higher upfront system costs and strong sensitivity to capital costs and financing conditions. Overall, the findings indicate that Indonesia's climate goals cannot be met with the current low carbon tax or gas based abatement alone. They require rapid renewable deployment coupled with de-risked finance, stronger regulatory coordination and targeted use of carbon pricing revenues to support grids and storage. These quantitative results are conditional on today's codified policy frameworks and should be interpreted as indicative transition pathways rather than precise forecasts.

印尼的LTS-LCCR、第二NDC和RUPTL意味着电力行业将发生深刻变化，但煤炭仍占主导地位，目前的政策似乎不足。本研究应用OSeMOSYS模型分析了2015-2050年的五种情景。对于每种途径，我们量化了总贴现系统成本、排放和边际减排成本，并通过±20%的可再生资本成本、天然气价格敏感性和贴现率变化来测试稳健性。结果表明，印度尼西亚现有的1.8美元/吨二氧化碳的碳税使发电结构和排放量与往常相比几乎没有变化，而高碳价格主要通过煤改气实现低成本减排，但无法实现深度脱碳，并且极易受到天然气价格波动的影响。可再生能源途径实现了最大的减排，接近零碳电力系统，MACs适中，但前期系统成本较高，对资本成本和融资条件非常敏感。总的来说，研究结果表明，仅靠目前的低碳税或基于天然气的减排，印尼的气候目标是无法实现的。它们需要快速部署可再生能源，辅以去风险融资、加强监管协调和有针对性地使用碳定价收入来支持电网和储能。这些量化结果取决于当今已编纂的政策框架，应被解释为指示性的过渡路径，而不是精确的预测。

This paper studies the employment effects of utility-scale renewable energy deployment in Spain using administrative data on wind and solar installations combined with provincial employment data over 2005–2024. We estimate dynamic employment responses to capacity additions and examine how effects differ across technologies, project phases, plant size, and worker characteristics. We find that both solar and wind investments generate substantial employment, but with markedly different profiles. At their peak, solar installations create around 10 jobs per megawatt, mainly in non-specialized occupations within host provinces, while wind projects generate about 12 jobs per megawatt, including a larger share of renewable-skill-intensive employment. Renewable deployment also produces spillover effects: solar capacity generates additional jobs in economically connected provinces, whereas wind-related spillovers are smaller but more skill-intensive. Employment impacts vary strongly over time and by project scale. Job creation per megawatt was considerably higher during 2005–2014 than in later years, reflecting falling technology costs and the shift towards larger plants. Smaller and medium-sized projects are more labour intensive than large installations. Employment gains also differ by education, with solar projects favouring lower-educated workers locally and wind projects creating earlier and more sustained gains for highly educated workers. Applying these estimates to Spain’s National Energy and Climate Plan for 2023–2030 suggests that meeting planned renewable capacity targets could generate close to 900,000 jobs between 2025 and 2030. Overall, the results highlight that the employment benefits of renewable energy depend crucially on technology, scale, timing, and regional economic linkages, but are considerable.

本文研究了西班牙公用事业规模可再生能源部署的就业效应，使用了2005-2024年风能和太阳能装置的行政数据，并结合了省级就业数据。我们估计了就业对产能增加的动态反应，并研究了不同技术、项目阶段、工厂规模和工人特征的影响。我们发现，太阳能和风能投资都创造了大量就业机会，但情况明显不同。在高峰期，太阳能装置每兆瓦能创造约10个就业机会，主要是在东道国省份的非专业职业，而风能项目每兆瓦能创造约12个就业机会，其中包括更大比例的可再生技术密集型就业机会。可再生能源的部署也会产生溢出效应：太阳能发电能力在经济联系紧密的省份创造了额外的就业机会，而与风能相关的溢出效应较小，但技能密集型程度更高。就业影响随着时间和项目规模的不同而变化很大。2005-2014年期间，每兆瓦创造的就业机会比后来几年要高得多，这反映了技术成本的下降和向更大工厂的转变。与大型设施相比，中小型项目的劳动密集程度更高。就业增长也因教育程度而异，太阳能项目有利于当地受教育程度较低的工人，而风能项目为受过高等教育的工人创造了更早、更持久的增长。将这些估计应用于西班牙2023-2030年国家能源和气候计划表明，实现计划中的可再生能源产能目标可以在2025年至2030年间创造近90万个就业岗位。总体而言，研究结果突出表明，可再生能源的就业效益主要取决于技术、规模、时机和区域经济联系，但也是相当可观的。

This study explores the social potential for flexibility and coordination of energy-intensive technologies, specifically electric vehicles and heat pumps – an increasingly common combination in Swedish single-family homes with diverse needs and motivations. As electrification rises and power peaks grow more concerning, the research examines flexibility in everyday EV charging and heating practices, focusing on enabling and hindering conditions. Drawing on 21 household interviews and social practice theory, the study found that flexibility potential was influenced by temporal, geographical, and material conditions, along with values, expectations, and experiences. Alternative charging strategies and frugal heating practices demonstrated flexibility, especially among households valuing environmental care. Foreseeability supported flexibility, while rigid schedules and high comfort expectations posed challenges. Practices centred around care were important but could reduce flexibility, and unfavourable combinations of geographical and material conditions further constrained it, but instead shaped fragility and awareness. Coordinating EV charging with heat pump use and adapting to new power tariffs proved complex. The study highlights the importance of understanding the social dimensions of energy flexibility and offers insights for policymakers and energy providers to support households in managing and coordinating practices related to multiple energy-intensive technologies in response to price signals and power demands.

Solar energy transition under IMF conditionality: Distributive justice and energy policy imperative in Pakistan 国际货币基金组织条件下的太阳能转型：巴基斯坦的分配正义和能源政策势在必行

Despite Pakistan's long-enduring chronic energy crisis, a recent surge in solar generation supplied nearly 25 % of the national electricity grid in the first quarter of 2025, broadening access and easing cost pressures. Conversely, IMF conditionality under IMF financing programs, such as tariff rebasing and a 10 % sales tax on solar imports, risk undermining these distributive gains. This study examines the interaction between solar adoption, IMF credit, and household electricity prices in shaping energy justice, using annual data from 2007 to 2024. We capture direct, mediated, and dynamic effects using time-series analysis and causal mediation models, respectively. Results show that a 1 % increase in solar generation reduces injustice by 0.142 points (p < 0.01), with benefits most substantial in rural areas. Mediation analysis demonstrates that IMF credit alleviates injustice only when channeled through solar adoption (β = 0.251 → SE; Sobel z = −2.47), while tariff hikes directly worsen inequality (β = −0.399, p < 0.05) but partially induce adoption. VAR evidence reveals that price shocks immediately intensify injustice, whereas solar shocks reduce disparities gradually. Results conclude that solar energy holds great promise, but cannot single-handedly drive a just transition. Achieving equitable outcomes requires addressing policy barriers by removing regressive fiscal measures, safeguarding net-metering, dedicating IMF resources to decentralized solar projects in marginalized communities, and broadening targeted subsidies for low-income populations.

尽管巴基斯坦长期存在慢性能源危机，但最近太阳能发电的激增为2025年第一季度提供了近25%的国家电网，扩大了接入范围并缓解了成本压力。相反，国际货币基金组织在其融资计划下的条件，如关税调整和对太阳能进口征收10%的销售税，有可能破坏这些分配收益。本研究使用2007年至2024年的年度数据，考察了太阳能采用、国际货币基金组织信贷和家庭电价在形成能源公平方面的相互作用。我们分别使用时间序列分析和因果中介模型捕捉直接、中介和动态效应。结果表明，太阳能发电量每增加1%，不公现象就会减少0.142点（p < 0.01），其中农村地区的收益最为显著。中介分析表明，国际货币基金组织的信贷只有通过采用太阳能才能缓解不公平（β = 0.251→SE; Sobel z = - 2.47），而关税上调直接加剧了不平等（β = - 0.399, p < 0.05），但部分诱导了采用。VAR证据显示，价格冲击会立即加剧不公平现象，而太阳能冲击则会逐渐缩小差距。研究结果表明，太阳能具有巨大的前景，但不能单凭一己之力推动公正的过渡。实现公平成果需要消除政策障碍，包括取消累退性财政措施，保障净计量，将基金组织资源用于边缘化社区的分散式太阳能项目，以及扩大对低收入人群的定向补贴。如果不能实施这些措施，巴基斯坦的太阳能扩张可能会被排斥，从而扩大不平等。

Agrivoltaics is touted as a win-win practice that combines agricultural production with solar energy production on the same land. Despite a promising list of associated benefits, previous research documents significant adoption barriers. Prior national-scale studies leave space to identify local or regional factors influencing agrivoltaics practice. Adoption of a novel technology ultimately requires behavioral changes that are shaped by knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP). We conducted a series of focus groups to assess the KAP factors of different sectors that shape agrivoltaics in Montgomery County, Maryland. Participants completed a visual survey to assess their interpretation of agrivoltaics. Through these measures, we provide a local and regional understanding of agrivoltaic interpretations, knowledge, attitudes, and practices. Our results indicate a lack of a consensus definition of agrivoltatics, but highlight a strong preference for systems involving crops or grazing livestock over pollinator habitats. Benefits identified by participants reflect key environmental concerns around climate and greenhouse gases, but also extend to economic stability and resilience, and land tenure security. Focus groups revealed skepticism about the applicability of global agrivoltaic research to local contexts. Participant skepticism also reflected the complex socio-enviro-technical aspects of renewable energy transitions. Our results underscore the need for region-specific strategies and educational initiatives (in this case, the mid-Atlantic, USA) to address stakeholder perceptions and facilitate implementation. The social factors identified using an engaged KAP approach is critical for reaching renewable energy goals with the needs and desires of local stakeholders, practitioners, and communities.

农业发电被吹捧为一种双赢的做法，将农业生产与太阳能生产结合在同一块土地上。尽管有一系列有希望的相关好处，但先前的研究表明，采用这种技术存在重大障碍。先前的全国性研究为确定影响农业发电实践的地方或区域因素留下了空间。采用新技术最终需要由知识、态度和实践（KAP）形成的行为改变。我们进行了一系列焦点小组，以评估影响马里兰州蒙哥马利县农业发电的不同部门的KAP因素。参与者完成了一项视觉调查，以评估他们对农业发电的理解。通过这些措施，我们提供了对农业光伏解释、知识、态度和实践的本地和区域理解。我们的研究结果表明，对农业发电缺乏共识的定义，但强调了对涉及作物或放牧牲畜的系统的强烈偏好，而不是传粉者的栖息地。与会者确定的利益反映了围绕气候和温室气体的关键环境问题，但也延伸到经济稳定性和复原力以及土地使用权安全。焦点小组揭示了对全球农业光伏研究在当地背景下的适用性的怀疑。与会者的怀疑也反映了可再生能源转型的复杂社会环境技术方面。我们的研究结果强调了制定地区特定战略和教育计划（在本例中是美国大西洋中部地区）的必要性，以解决利益相关者的看法并促进实施。使用参与式KAP方法确定的社会因素对于实现符合当地利益相关者、从业者和社区需求和愿望的可再生能源目标至关重要。

The pursuit of Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG7) has gained global prominence amid growing concerns over energy poverty (EP), a challenge further exacerbated during periods of conflict. This study hypothesizes the prevailing narrow definitions of SDG7 reflect only a partial view of energy systems, risking overly optimistic assessments particularly in conflict settings. These dynamics are examined in the context of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), a region characterized by a history of protracted and ongoing conflict. A data-driven comparative analysis of 26 countries in the MENA was conducted to discern national trends in SDG7 indicators (positive, neutral, or negative) while factoring in political rank (stable or unstable), development status (developed or developing), and income level (low, middle or high). Results reveal predominantly positive SDG7 trends across the region including among fifteen politically unstable, developing, and low-to middle-income countries. Observed progress does not necessarily translate into improved outcomes for the energy-poor who remain disproportionately affected by pre-existing inequalities. We attribute misleading perceptions of progress in SDG7 to concealed methodological root causes that mask the true scale of EP realities. Accordingly, a novel energy policy taxonomy was proposed to advance the measurement and monitoring of energy system performance into better capturing eighteen emerging energy development dimensions influencing EP considering environmental, social, economic, and political criteria. Application of the taxonomy demonstrates why relying on SDG7 indicators alone may create a false sense of achievement for some countries. Moving forward, this framework can guide indicator formulation for the post-2030 agenda of new global goals to inform targeted evidence-based policy planning towards accelerating EP alleviation.

在对能源贫困（EP）日益关注的背景下，追求可持续发展目标7 （SDG7）已成为全球关注的焦点，这一挑战在冲突期间进一步加剧。本研究假设，普遍存在的对SDG7的狭隘定义仅反映了对能源系统的部分看法，可能导致评估过于乐观，尤其是在冲突环境中。这些动态在中东和北非（MENA）的背景下进行了检查，这是一个以长期和持续冲突的历史为特征的地区。对中东和北非地区的26个国家进行了数据驱动的比较分析，以辨别可持续发展七国集团指标的国家趋势（积极、中性或消极），同时考虑到政治等级（稳定或不稳定）、发展状况（发达或发展中）和收入水平（低、中或高）。结果显示，包括15个政治不稳定的发展中国家和中低收入国家在内的整个地区，可持续发展七国集团的趋势主要是积极的。观察到的进展并不一定转化为能源贫乏者的改善结果，他们仍然受到先前存在的不平等的不成比例的影响。我们将对可持续发展七国集团进展的误导性看法归因于隐藏的方法根源，这些根源掩盖了经济发展现实的真实规模。因此，本文提出了一种新的能源政策分类法，以促进能源系统绩效的测量和监测，更好地捕捉影响环境、社会、经济和政治标准的18个新兴能源发展维度。分类法的应用表明，为什么仅仅依赖SDG7指标可能会给一些国家带来一种虚假的成就感。展望未来，该框架可以为2030年后新的全球目标议程的指标制定提供指导，为有针对性的循证政策规划提供信息，以加速减轻环境影响。

Energy transition constitutes a critical pillar of sustainable development. The digital economy enhances rural households’ access to advanced energy and critical information for the energy transition. Using household-level survey data from rural China, this study examines the impact of the digital economy on rural household energy consumption. We find that the digital economy significantly increases household energy consumption diversity. This result remains robust after addressing potential endogeneity through an instrumental variable measured by gigabit fiber-optic internet penetration. Furthermore, the digital economy facilitates the energy transition by promoting the adoption of both transitional and advanced energy while reducing reliance on primitive energy. Mechanically, the digital economy facilitates rural household energy transition by increasing access to digital credit, raising energy cognition, and augmenting social capital. Heterogeneity analysis reveals that the impact of the digital economy on energy consumption is more pronounced for low-income households than for their high-income households. Consequently, future policies should prioritize promoting rural digitalization, advancing digital credit services, encouraging the adoption of advanced energy, increasing engagement from social organizations, and formulating differentiated energy policies to support low-income populations.

能源转型是可持续发展的关键支柱。数字经济增加了农村家庭获得先进能源和能源转型关键信息的途径。本研究利用中国农村家庭层面的调查数据，考察了数字经济对农村家庭能源消费的影响。我们发现，数字经济显著增加了家庭能源消费的多样性。通过千兆光纤互联网普及率测量的工具变量解决潜在内生性后，该结果仍然稳健。此外，数字经济通过促进过渡能源和先进能源的采用，减少对原始能源的依赖，从而促进能源转型。从机械上讲，数字经济通过增加数字信贷渠道、提高能源认知和增加社会资本来促进农村家庭能源转型。异质性分析表明，数字经济对低收入家庭能源消费的影响比高收入家庭更为明显。因此，未来的政策应优先推进农村数字化，推进数字信贷服务，鼓励采用先进能源，增加社会组织的参与，制定差异化的能源政策以支持低收入人群。
