The politics of measurement and the case of energy efficiency policy in the European Union

Tessa Dunlop et al.

Summary: Energy efficiency is a policy strategy in Europe aimed at energy savings and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This paper focuses on the amendments to the Energy Efficiency Directive from 2016 to 2018 and explores the struggle over the definition and measurement of energy efficiency. Drawing on insights from Science and Technology Studies and indicator politics, it examines how the meaning of energy efficiency was negotiated through its measurement. The political negotiations provide an empirical case to understand the politics of measurement and how it affects the governance of energy efficiency.

Advocacy Coalitions and Paths to Policy Change for Promoting Energy Efficiency in European Industry

Fredrik von Malmborg et al.

Summary: This paper applies the advocacy coalition framework to study the political processes behind EU policies on enhancing energy efficiency in industry. Using energy audits and management systems legislation as proxies, the paper identifies four advocacy coalitions with different core beliefs on these policies. The analysis reveals that policy change in this area is influenced by external shocks, deliberative negotiations, and policy-oriented learning. Understanding core beliefs and advocacy coalitions can enhance awareness of stakeholders' values and facilitate potential changes in energy efficiency policies.

The politics of intermediation in transitions: Conflict and contestation over energy efficiency policy

Alexander Nordt et al.

Summary: This study investigates the role of transition intermediaries in energy efficiency regulation for buildings and light vehicles in Australia. By drawing on transition literature and the multiple streams approach (MSA) from policy studies, the study examines the functions of these intermediaries in a highly politicised context, improving understanding of transition-oriented policy processes and failures. The findings highlight the importance of transition intermediaries in bringing knowledge, advocating for new policy visions, and building consensus, particularly in conflicted contexts. The study offers new insight into how transition intermediation shapes energy transitions in politicised contexts.

Critical sustainability issues in the production of wind and solar electricity generation as well as storage facilities and possible solutions

Sophie Theresia W. Huber et al.

Summary: The extended implementation of renewable energy technologies is crucial for tackling global warming. However, the production of such technologies involves critical sustainability issues, including the use of conflict minerals, toxicity, and limited availability of rare earth elements. This article focuses on these issues and explores potential measures to mitigate supply chain risks.

How first comes energy efficiency? Assessing the energy efficiency first principle in the EU using a comprehensive indicator-based approach

Mara Chlechowitz et al.

Summary: The energy efficiency first (EE1) principle, as a leading principle of EU's energy policy, requires equal consideration and prioritization of demand resources alongside supply-side solutions. A composite indicator consisting of 13 criteria was developed to assess the implementation of the principle by Member States. The results indicate a general understanding and realization of the principle, but shortcomings in ensuring equal treatment between supply and demand-side resources and neglecting the benefits of energy efficiency improvements persist.

Exploring advocacy coalitions for energy efficiency: Policy change through internal shock and learning in the European Union

Fredrik von Malmborg

Summary: This study uses the advocacy coalition framework to analyze policy change in European Union energy efficiency policy, focusing on the case study of the energy efficiency directive and its provisions on individual metering and billing. The research confirms the importance of internal shocks for policy change and highlights the role of policy-oriented learning in shaping policies.

Advocacy coalitions in the acceleration phase of the European energy transition

Marie Byskov Lindberg et al.

Summary: This study analyzes advocacy coalitions in the acceleration phase of the European energy transition, identifying three distinct coalitions in the EU's electricity policy system that support the transition but with preferences for different policy instruments. Rather than coalition decline and growth, the ongoing development involves the emergence of new coalitions and new alliances between them.
