Research on energy transitions calls for exploring the subnational tendencies in energy governance. This study unpacks how transitioning to sustainable energy unfolds at the local level in Russia, a state with a fossil-dominated and centralized energy regime. Drawing upon the case study of Yakutia, I clarify the role of local authorities and non-state actors in local energy transitions in a hybrid regime. In order to uncover the dynamics of power relations as forces affecting the local energy transition in Yakutia, I develop an approach that combines the multi-actor perspective on socio-technical transition with theories of network governance in hybrid regimes. Through qualitative empirical research, I identify four distinct local energy transition models, showing how energy transition projects are initiated and executed through state-run local governance networks. I then demonstrate how the overarching energy political regime frames the playing field and has a decisive influence on the (dis)empowerment of local actors
