本文探讨了南非能源转型的政治经济学。一个以强大的“矿产能源综合体”为基础的经济模式，以前能够为国内外资本提供廉价和丰富的煤炭发电，在经济上或环境上不再可持续。本文分析了竞争的能源愿景，基础设施和政治议程的斗争，以产生对南非清洁能源转型的治理和融资的见解。它既提供了一个丰富的经验，旨在实现这种过渡的关键政策发展，并提供了如何最好地理论化能源转型的争议政治的思考。
This paper explores the political economy of energy transition in South Africa. An economic model based around a powerful 'minerals-energy complex' that has previously been able to provide domestic and foreign capital with cheap and plentiful coal-generated electricity is no longer economically or environmentally sustainable. The paper analyses the struggle over competing energy visions, infrastructures and political agendas in order to generate insights into the governance and financing of clean energy transitions in South Africa. It provides both a rich empirical account of key policy developments aimed at enabling such a transition and provides reflections on how best to theorise the contested politics of energy transitions.
