全球发展中国家的农村社区能源项目过于频繁地置于自上而下的技术驱动框架内，这限制了它们为能源贫困和改善生计提供可持续解决方案的能力。这一框架与该部门的关键行动者如何想象和构建能源干预有关，通过特定的社会技术想象，为农村社区规定了一套日益普遍的能源未来。项目往往是通过技术、金融模式和交付机制的特定组合来进行逆向工程，而不是关注个别社区的特定能源需求/愿望。关于能源获取和改善生计之间关系的假设也加强了技术官僚对适当系统规模的确定和对普遍的“可扩展”交付模式的探索。然而，可扩展性和结果之间没有必然的因果关系——适当的实施规模并非纯粹由技术或财务考虑决定，而是由社会规模决定，通过社会规模，地方参与和所有权的最佳形式可以实现。为了将这种对社会空间的关注付诸实践，我们提出了一种社会能源系统（SES）方法，该方法通过探索三种不同但相互启发的能源素养变体——能源系统素养、项目社区素养和政治素养——之间的相互作用来推进。
Rural community energy projects in the Global South have too frequently been framed within a top-down technologically-driven framework that limits their ability to provide sustainable solutions to energy poverty and improving livelihoods. This framing is linked to how energy interventions are being imagined and constructed by key actors in the sector, via particular sociotechnical imaginaries through which a set of increasingly universalised energy futures for rural communities is prescribed. Projects are too frequently reverse-engineered through the lens of particular combinations of technologies, financial models and delivery mechanisms, rather than by attending to the particular energy needs/aspirations of individual communities. Assumptions over the association between energy access and livelihood enhancement have also reinforced a technocratic determination of appropriate system scale and a search for universalised ‘scaleable’ delivery models. There is, however, no necessary causation between scaleability and outcomes – appropriate implementation scales are not purely determined by technical or financial considerations, rather it is the social scale via which optimum forms of local participation and ownership can be achieved. To operationalise this concern for social space we propose a Social Energy Systems (SES) approach that is advanced via exploration of the interactions between three distinct but mutually edifying variants of energy literacy – energy systems literacy, project community literacy and political literacy.
