日本語
アフリカの電力配電会社を対象に、小規模再生可能エネルギー（SSRE）市場への参入における機会と課題を質的に分析した研究。社会技術転換理論を枠組みとし、20名の管理者への半構造化インタビューを実施。SSRE市場への参入はサービス提供の改善やステークホルダーへの便益をもたらす一方、系統インフラの制約、高い接続・コンプライアンス費用、規制の複雑さ、顧客の認知不足、労働力の能力不足が障壁となることを明らかにした。配電網の拡張・更新、積極的なマーケティング、従業員研修への継続投資を提言している。
English
This qualitative study explores opportunities and challenges for an African electricity distribution company participating in the small-scale renewable energy (SSRE) market. Using socio-technical transition theory and semi-structured interviews with 20 managers, it finds that SSRE participation improves service delivery and stakeholder benefits, but is constrained by grid infrastructure issues, high connection and compliance costs, regulatory complexity, low customer awareness, and workforce incapacity. The study recommends investing in distribution network upgrades, marketing campaigns, and employee training.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
新興国・アフリカの配電会社における小規模再エネ市場の障壁は、日本の地域電力・新電力が分散型電源を普及させる際の系統接続・規制対応・人材育成の課題と通底する。SSBJやTCFD開示とは直接の接点はないが、エネルギー転換の現場課題を理解する材料として日本企業にも示唆がある。
In the global GX context
This paper adds empirical evidence from an African distribution utility on the practical barriers to scaling small-scale renewables—grid constraints, connection costs, and regulatory complexity—which are relevant to global transition finance and just energy transition discussions. It complements disclosure-focused research by highlighting the operational realities that underpin credible transition planning.

📄 Abstract（原文）
The market for small-scale renewable energy has increased in Africa as a strategy for the diversification of electricity supply and mitigation of power cuts, thus promoting sustainable energy solutions. The market is however faced with many challenges despite its vast potential The study made an exploration of the small- scale renewable energy (SSRE) market for a selected electricity company in Africa. Specifically, the study identified opportunities and challenges that are associated with participating in this energy market. The Socio-Technical Transition Theory formed a key part of the study. The study adopted a qualitative research approach, with purposive sampling, and a sample size of 20 managers. Semi-structured interviews were conducted online, and data was analysed using thermatic analysis. The results show that the electricity company participation in the SSRE market is important in improving service delivery, enhances benefits amongst various stakeholder categories. However, the study found that participation in the SSRE market is constrained by grid infrastructural issues, high connection and compliance costs, regulatory complexities the low customer awareness and workforce incapacity. The study recommends that the electricity company should invest in the expansion and upgrading of distribution network, implement vigorous marketing campaigns and continued investment in employee training.
