From efficiency to state entrepreneurialism
The relationship between the market and the state in energy transitions is a popular contemporary topic. While some argue that the role of the state is mainly to fix market failures, research on state entrepreneurialism contends that states should engage in energy transitions by shaping markets to support societal objectives. This study contributes to this debate by examining how the Danish state has engaged in developing specific low-carbon ener…
Demonstrating a Flexible Electricity Consumer
Real-world experiments have become a common method for testing and developing new technologies to decarbonize the energy system. The significance of the site of such experiments is evident yet elusive. A case in point is the Danish island Bornholm, test site for a smart grid experiment involving more than 800 private households. The object of intervention of this experiment is the so-called flexible electricity consumer; a means for countering ra…
Governing system transitions in the context of scattered agency
Design as redesign in the case of architectural competitions
Organisational research positions design as complex and open-ended. We contribute to research on design and the organisation of competition by conceptualising design as redesign and as a collective ‘thing’ consisting of an interconnected and dynamically evolving set of new design issues and matters of concern that blur actors’ professional roles. Our approach builds on actor-network theory using an ethnographic study to follow architects’ design …
Solving infrastructural concerns through a market reorganization
Following the rapid growth of wind power in Denmark in the past 20 years, energy infrastructure has become increasingly politicized. Fluctuating renewables not only contest the dominant ‘logic’ of operating the system, namely ‘supply-follows-demand’, but it also introduces new actors like aggregators and reconfigures existing market actors. In this paper, we study a case, EcoGrid 2.0 on the Danish island Bornholm, as a case of a ‘marketized’ solu…
Articulation work from the middle—a study of how technicians mediate users and technology
This article studies the work performed by technicians in a large demonstration project, EcoGrid 2.0, in the Danish island Bornholm. Based on observations of household visits conducted by technicians, we demonstrate how these act as ‘middlemen’, mediating and linking together the smart technology of the demonstration and the involved users. Formally, technicians’ work is to keep users online; however, they also perform a number of invisible tasks…
