| Abstract |
This briefing maps and compares the institutional frameworks for local energy systems in England, Scotland and Wales. Findings show differences in actors and the development of new institutions, but a common emphasis on local energy planning. Local energy systems (LES) are subject to increasing policymaker and industry attention. Whilst there is some debate about boundaries and components, such systems generally refer to locally integrated systems for heat, power, mobility, storage and flexibility services. LES could deliver a range of local and whole system benefits, however the development of more locally optimised and place-based energy systems will be closely influenced by the institutional frameworks in place to support them. This briefing examines and compares the existing institutional landscapes for LES across England, Scotland and Wales. It draws on a documentary review and stakeholder interviews to establish how key organisations, powers and relationships are shaping LES development across Great Britain. |
