本研究は、南アフリカ、ケニア、ナイジェリアの再生可能エネルギープロジェクトにおけるエネルギー正義の原則の遵守状況を比較分析した。ケニアの分散型システムは包括的な参加を促進する一方、南アフリカのトップダウン型移行は一部のコミュニティを疎外し、ナイジェリアでは地域参加が最小限で正義の欠如が顕著である。エネルギー正義を計画とガバナンスに組み込むことの重要性を提言する。
English
This study compares energy justice in renewable energy projects in South Africa, Kenya, and Nigeria using qualitative case studies. Kenya's decentralized systems enable inclusive participation, while South Africa's top-down approach marginalizes communities, and Nigeria shows minimal engagement. It recommends embedding energy justice in planning and governance for an equitable transition.

日本のGX文脈において
日本はエネルギー移行において社会的受容性や地域コミュニティとの協働が課題となっており、本研究のエネルギー正義の枠組みは、日本のGX政策における包摂的なプロセス設計に示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
This paper provides empirical evidence on energy justice in Africa, highlighting that an inclusive transition requires procedural, distributive, and recognition justice. It complements global decarbonization narratives by emphasizing equity, relevant for international frameworks like the Paris Agreement and SDG 7.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Energy justice scholars will find comparative insights across three African countries and the application of distributive, procedural, and recognition justice.
🏢実務担当者:Corporate sustainability teams entering African renewable markets can learn about community engagement and equitable benefit-sharing.
🏛政策担当者:International development agencies and national regulators designing energy transition policies should integrate energy justice principles to avoid marginalization.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Climate vulnerability, developmental inequality, and ongoing energy poverty are all factors influencing Africa's transition to renewable energy. More than 600 million people in sub-Saharan Africa do not have access to electricity, despite the region's wealth of solar and wind resources. Africa needs a greater emphasis on energy justice, which includes distributive (equitable access and burden sharing), procedural (inclusive decision-making) and recognition (respect for marginalized identities) justice, even though global energy transition narratives place a strong emphasis on decarbonisation. This study investigates how renewable energy projects in South Africa, Kenya, and Nigeria adhere to energy justice principles. 15 semi-structured interviews, policy analysis, and NGO reports were used in a qualitative comparative case study approach. Stakeholder comparison and coding were done using NVivo 14 software. Findings show Kenya’s decentralized energy systems support more inclusive participation, while South Africa’s top-down transition marginalizes some communities. Nigeria presents the most challenges, with minimal local engagement and significant justice deficits. Vulnerable groups such as women, youth, and indigenous populations are often excluded across all cases. The study concludes that embedding energy justice in planning and governance is essential for a sustainable, inclusive African energy transition. Policy recommendations emphasize community participation, equitable benefit sharing, and justice-led energy frameworks.
