Change at Last? Dimensions of Disruption in the Swedish Electricity Market
Electricity systems are changing in response to three important trends: decarbonization, decentralization, and digitalization. However, these changes have done little to disrupt unsustainable patterns of consumption and production. Consumer electricity markets are still awaiting a fourth D: disruption. Digitalization has enabled disruptive business models in many other sectors, but there are reasons to critically examine promises that connect dis…
Directionality in transformative innovation policy
The aim of this article is to improve knowledge about how directionality is implemented in transformative innovation policy and mission-oriented innovation policy. Academic literature conceptualizes attention to societal challenges as the directionality of innovation systems. Directionality requires an opening-up to include actors from the demand side of innovation processes. But this opening-up raises questions about who determines the direction…
Promises and Techno-Politics
Malmö aims to become Sweden’s most climate-smart city and Hyllie, its newest city district, is to lead the way. This ambition is front and centre in the 2011 Climate Contract that envisioned Hyllie as a climate-neutral city district. Malmö signed the Climate Contract with Eon, a multinational energy company. But five years after signing the Climate Contract, Malmö and Eon gave up their goal of a making Hyllie climate-neutral by 2020. The Climate …

The Struggles of Smart Energy Places
Visions of smart energy systems are increasingly influencing energy systems around the world. Many visions entail ideas of more efficient versions of existing large-scale energy systems, where smart grids serve to balance energy consumption and demand over large areas. At the other end of the spectrum are visions of smart energy places that represent a challenge to dominant, large-scale energy systems, based on smart microgrids that facilitate th…
