日本のGX文脈において
日本のGX政策においても、スマートグリッドや需要家参加が推進されているが、本稿は世帯の代表性や正義の観点から政策プロセスを評価する枠組みを提供する。SSBJや有報では直接扱われないが、エネルギー転換の社会的受容性を考える上で示唆に富む。
In the global GX context
In the global GX context, this paper offers a critical perspective on energy democracy and household representation in smart grid policies, relevant for countries like those in the EU and beyond that are implementing demand-side flexibility. It highlights the gap between policy ideals and institutional practices, urging inclusive stakeholder engagement.

🔬研究者:This paper provides a robust framework (energy democracy dimensions) for analyzing household representation in energy policy, revealing path dependencies that hinder innovation.
🏛政策担当者:The findings underscore the need to integrate diverse household voices into energy policymaking to ensure social legitimacy and equity, avoiding over-reliance on technocratic solutions.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Smart grids are widely promoted as key technologies for enabling low-carbon and flexible electricity systems, with households expected to play an active role through dynamic pricing and automation. This article examines the representation of households in Swedish energy policymaking. This is done by investigating how households are represented in two policy processes concerning smart grids and grid tariffs in Sweden, as well as through interviews with energy sector actors. The qualitative analysis of the documents and interviews reveals a significant gap between policy expectations and institutional practice. Using an energy democracy framework, we analyse household representation across four dimensions: actors and representation, capacity and responsibility, framing, and justice. Our findings point to a dominance of technocratic and market-based logics that overlook socio-material inequalities and democratic inclusion. Over time, the policy processes have relied heavily on the same professional actors, which contributes to the same issues being raised and the same answers being given. Both problems and solutions follow a path dependency in the processes, and the involved actors seem unable to introduce new ideas or solutions to the known problems. We argue that integrating diverse household perspectives is crucial for socially legitimate and equitable energy policies.
