本レビューは、低炭素エネルギー移行における準国家レベルのガバナンスとエネルギー強靭性の関係を、主に中所得国・新興経済圏を対象に整理。社会技術的移行理論やエネルギー安全保障枠組みを援用し、州・地域レベルでの再生可能エネルギー統合や分散化への貢献を分析。Energy Transition Index（ETI）の診断ツールとしての有用性と限界も評価し、政策含意と研究ギャップを提示。
English
This narrative review synthesizes interdisciplinary literature on subnational energy governance and energy resilience in low-carbon transitions, focusing on middle-income and emerging economies. It examines the role of provincial and regional actors in renewable energy integration, decentralization, and adaptive capacity, and evaluates the Energy Transition Index (ETI) as a diagnostic framework. The paper identifies institutional and capacity factors shaping subnational contributions and outlines policy-relevant insights and research gaps.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本は中央集権的なエネルギー体制だが、都道府県レベルでの再生可能エネルギー導入が進みつつある。本稿は、新興国を主対象としながらも、サブナショナルなガバナンスがエネルギー強靭性に与える影響を整理しており、日本の地域エネルギー政策にも示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
While global climate governance often focuses on national pledges, subnational actors are critical for energy system resilience. This review synthesizes evidence from middle-income contexts—relevant for countries with decentralized energy planning such as China, India, or Brazil—and highlights the analytical value and limits of the Energy Transition Index at subnational scales.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Highlights subnational governance as an underexplored scale in energy transitions literature, offering a multi-theoretical framework for further empirical work.
🏢実務担当者:Provides a framework for local energy planners to assess their role in renewable integration and resilience-building, using the ETI as a potential diagnostic tool.
🏛政策担当者:Emphasizes that national energy policies should account for subnational capacities and institutional arrangements to ensure just and resilient transitions.
📄 Abstract（原文）
The transition to low-carbon energy systems is increasingly shaped not only by technological innovation but also by governance arrangements that influence system performance, reliability, and resilience. While national energy policies and market reforms have received extensive scholarly attention, the role of subnational governance particularly at provincial or regional level remains underexplored in the energy transitions literature. This review synthesises interdisciplinary scholarship on energy transitions, energy resilience, and subnational governance, with particular attention to middle-income and emerging economy contexts. Drawing on socio-technical transition theory, energy security and resilience frameworks, and just transition scholarship, the paper critically examines how subnational actors contribute to renewable energy integration, decentralisation, and adaptive capacity within electricity systems. The review further evaluates the Energy Transition Index (ETI) as a diagnostic framework for assessing energy system performance beyond the national scale, highlighting both its analytical value and its limitations when applied to subnational governance contexts. The paper identifies key institutional, political, and capacity-related factors shaping subnational contributions to energy resilience and low-carbon transitions and concludes by outlining policy-relevant insights and priority research gaps. The analysis contributes to the energy transitions literature by clarifying the governance dimensions of resilience and by positioning subnational governance as a critical, yet under-theorised, scale of intervention in renewable energy transitions.
