南アフリカの再生可能エネルギー部門は低炭素経済への移行に重要だが、農村部ではエネルギー貧困やコミュニティの参加不足が課題である。本稿はコミュニティ・プライベートパートナーシップ（CPP）が共有所有権と民主的ガバナンスを通じて農村の生計向上と社会的公正を促進する可能性を、文献レビューと事例研究に基づき分析する。IRENAの基準と比較し、CPPが南アフリカのグリーン経済への道筋として有効であると論じる。
English
This paper examines community-private partnerships (CPPs) in South Africa's renewable energy sector as a transformative model for rural communities. Through literature review and case studies, it argues that CPPs with shared ownership and democratic governance can address energy poverty and historical marginalization, aligning with IRENA's criteria for community ownership and offering a socially just pathway for the green economy.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
南アフリカの事例ではあるが、地域コミュニティと民間企業の協力モデルは日本の再生可能エネルギー推進や地域活性化にも示唆を与える。特に、社会的公正を重視した移行は、日本のエネルギー政策における地域共生の視点と重なる部分がある。
In the global GX context
This paper contributes to the global discourse on just energy transitions by exploring community-private partnerships as a mechanism to ensure equitable benefit-sharing in renewable energy projects. It provides insights for policymakers and practitioners in developing countries and complements frameworks like IRENA's guidelines on community energy.

📄 Abstract（原文）
The renewable energy sector is pivotal in the global transition to a low-carbon, climate resilient economy. Yet in South Africa, despite strong policy commitments to a just energy transition, rural communities continue to experience energy poverty and limited ownership or participation in renewable energy developments. A community-private partnership (CPP) is a collaborative model in which communities and private developers jointly own, govern, or benefit from renewable energy projects, enabling shared decision-making and equitable local benefit-sharing. This article, therefore, examines how CPPs can serve as a transformative model to secure rural livelihoods, enhance community agency, and address historical marginalisation. I draw on an interdisciplinary literature review, doctrinal legal analysis, and selected case studies to examine 1) the structural factors that limit meaningful community participation; 2) the archetypes of CPPs; and 3) the extent to which CPPs can be aligned with the International Renewable Energy Agency’s (IRENA) criteria for community ownership. I argue that CPPs aimed at shared ownership, supported by democratic governance and equitable benefit-sharing, offers a pragmatic and socially just pathway for South Africa’s emerging green economy.
