日本語
本論文は、ドイツとスウェーデンのコミュニティエネルギー移行を比較し、制度的枠組み、政治文化、インフラ体制が参加・所有・正義の機会をどのように形成するかを分析する。6つの事例から、コミュニティエネルギーは本質的に民主的でも包括的でもなく、その変革可能性は支援的な法制度や仲介機関、アクセス可能なビジネスモデル、社会的正義への配慮に依存することを示す。政策提言も行う。
English
This article compares community energy transitions in Germany and Sweden, examining how institutional frameworks, political cultures, and infrastructure regimes shape participation, ownership, and justice. Based on six cases, it finds that community energy is neither inherently democratic nor inclusive; its transformative potential depends on supportive legal frameworks, intermediaries, accessible business models, and attention to social justice. Policy recommendations are provided.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本ではコミュニティエネルギーの普及が進んでおらず、本論文の制度的・正義の視点は、日本の地域分散型エネルギー移行における包摂的な政策設計に示唆を与える。特に、法制度や中間支援組織の役割に関する知見は、日本のエネルギー自治体や市民参加の促進に応用可能である。
In the global GX context
This paper contributes to global debates on energy democracy and justice by comparing two EU frontrunners. As countries worldwide pursue decentralized renewables, its findings on the conditions for inclusive community energy are directly relevant for policymakers designing participatory energy transitions under diverse national frameworks.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Community energy promises more democratic energy transitions, but its effects depend on national institutions and local governance. Comparing Germany and Sweden, this article shows how legal frameworks, intermediaries, ownership models and justice claims shape who can participate, who benefits and whether community energy becomes inclusive or selective .Community energy (CE) is increasingly discussed as a democratic alternative to centralized energy systems, yet its forms and effects vary substantially across national contexts. This article compares CE developments in Germany and Sweden, two countries with ambitious climate agendas but contrasting energy-governance arrangements. The paper examines how institutional frameworks, political cultures, and infrastructure regimes shape opportunities for participation, ownership, and justice. The analysis draws on six illustrative cases, combining document analysis, published case studies, project materials, and fieldwork-based insights, assessed through the lenses of energy democracy and energy justice. The findings show that CE is neither inherently democratic nor inclusive. Its transformative potential depends on supportive legal frameworks, intermediary support, accessible business models, and explicit attention to social justice. The article concludes with policy recommendations for more inclusive CE systems across comparable European contexts.
