一些英国城市当局正在开发热电联产(CHP)与区域供热和制冷(DHC)网络,作为实现当地可持续和负担得起的能源的一种手段,并为经济复苏做出贡献。在英国三个城市的案例研究的结果被用来探索当地的能源治理和组织(乐高)模式的背景下,私有化,集中的能源市场。由于公共政策的支持有限,获得资金的机会有限,当地开发商依赖社会资本来源来使系统发挥作用。当地参与者利用非当地社区的能源和商业及技术网络的专业知识,致力于:将技术引入战略规划;建立其合法性和适合众多利益相关者的多组织形式的合法性;获得资金;谈判风险和责任;并参与为大规模集中供应而设计的能源市场。为了让DHC为英国可持续城市能源做出充分有效的贡献,需要一个更具支持性的政府政策框架,以抵消集中能源市场的困难。为了最大限度地发挥了解当地情况的行动的效益,政策框架必须对适合当地的行为者和物质基础设施的具体情况作出反应。
A number of UK urban authorities are developing combined heat and power (CHP) with district heating and cooling (DHC) networks as a means to achieve local sustainable and affordable energy, and to contribute to economic regeneration. Findings from case study research in three UK cities are used to explore the local energy governance and organisation (LEGO) models adopted in the context of privatised, centralised energy markets. Local developers are reliant on sources of social capital to make systems work, given limited support from public policy and limited access to finance. Local actors, drawing on non-local community energy and commercial and technical networks of expertise, work to: introduce the technology into strategic planning; establish its legitimacy and the legitimacy of a form of multi-organisation suited to numerous stakeholders; secure finance; negotiate risks and responsibilities; and engage with energy markets designed for large-scale centralised provision. For DHC to make a fully effective contribution to UK sustainable urban energy, a more supportive government policy framework, offsetting the difficulties of a centralised energy market, will be needed. To maximise the benefit of locally knowledgeable action, the policy framework must be responsive to the specificity of locally appropriate configurations of actors and material infrastructure.
