Drawing on empirical material from two Italian regions, we show how various material dimensions have affected the spatial distribution and deployment of RE, in particular solar and wind energy. The paper draws on an approach to the analysis of materiality originally developed in the extractive industries literature, including fossil fuels. RE forms have significantly fewer material components compared with coal, oil and gas and the other extractive industries.
Combining insights from research on systems innovation and sustainable transitions with multi-level governance perspectives, this paper examines the ‘Arbed’ domestic housing retrofit programmes in Wales. In so doing, the paper demonstrates the critical role of sub-national government in the emergence of a distinctive sustainability-oriented pathway for domestic end-use energy demand reduction in Wales, and highlights the multi-level governance challenges involved. The governance processes contributing to this purposive transformation (e.g., policies and institutions; a ‘shared’ normative vision; network building; competencies, resource mobilisation, etc.) are illuminated and how they simultaneously cut across multiple spatial scales is discussed. Rather than simply viewing such transition arenas as simple sites of experimentation, the paper argues that sub-national sustainable energy transitions and pathways are shaped by pressures and opportunities that are mediated by unique place and context-specific conditions that exert influence on the mobilisation of resources, governance capabilities and actor-networks.
DE LAURENTIS C. Innovation and policy for bioenergy in the UK: a co-evolutionary perspective, Regional Studies. This paper analyses the role of niche innovation and regime interaction in the field of renewable energy in the UK. Adopting a co-evolutionary approach and a dynamic multilevel perspective on system innovation, it investigates niches development in the UK in the field of bioenergy and its interaction with the current energy regime. Contributing to the debate about spatial scales at which sustainability transitions can be conceptualized, the paper utilizes the case of niche development in the region of Wales to provide supporting evidence of the importance of context-specific social and political relations that may foster or hinder regime transformation.

L'innovation et la politique en faveur de la bioénergie au Royaume-Uni: un point de vue coévolutif, Regional Studies. Cet article analyse le rôle des créneaux d'innovation et des régimes d'interaction dans le domaine de l'énergie renouvelable au Royaume-Uni. À partir d'une approche coévolutive et d'une perspective multiniveaux dynamique des systèmes d'innovation, on examine le développement de créneaux au Royaume-Uni dans le domaine de la bioénergie et son interaction avec le régime énergétique actuel. Pour contribuer au débat sur les échelles spatiales auxquelles on peut conceptualiser le développement durable, l'article emploie le cas du développement de créneaux au pays de Galles afin de fournir des preuves à l'appui de l'importance des relations sociales et politiques spécifiques au contexte qui pourraient encourager ou entraver le changement de régime.

Innovation und Politik für Bioenergie in Großbritannien: eine koevolutionäre Perspektive, Regional Studies. In diesem Beitrag wird die Rolle der Wechselwirkungen zwischen Nischeninnovation und System im Bereich der erneuerbaren Energien in Großbritannien analysiert. Anhand eines koevolutionären Ansatzes und einer dynamischen, mehrschichtigen Perspektive der Systeminnovation werden die Nischenbildung in Großbritannien im Bereich der Bioenergie sowie ihre Wechselwirkungen mit dem derzeitigen Energiesystem untersucht. Als Beitrag zur Debatte über räumliche Maßstäbe, in denen sich Übergänge im Bereich der Nachhaltigkeit konzeptualisieren lassen, liefert dieser Beitrag anhand des Falls der Nischenbildung in der Region Wales unterstützende Belege für die Bedeutung von kontextspezifischen gesellschaftlichen und politischen Beziehungen, die eine Umgestaltung des Systems fördern oder sie behindern können.
