This case study unravels the ambiguous position of public energy distributor Fluvius in dealing with strategic regional transition challenges. It enriches current understandings of spatial transition dimensions and of public regime actors’ role in transitions, by unravelling the territorial and institutional embeddedness of regional energy distribution systems. We disentangle three controversies in Flemish energy distribution, centred around the spatial concepts of density, spatial selectivity and socio-spatial redistribution. This spatial lens reveals the implicit spatial logics and inherently political character of transforming regional distribution systems. We conclude that a fundamental energy transition requires more inclusive governance, and an ambitious spatial transition vision.

区域转型中的领土和制度固执：将法兰德斯能源分配系统的案例政治化

本案例研究揭示了公共能源分销商 Fluvius 在应对战略性区域转型挑战方面的模棱两可的立场。它通过揭示区域能源分配系统的领土和制度嵌入，丰富了当前对空间转型维度和公共政权参与者在转型中的作用的理解。我们解开了佛兰芒能源分布中的三个争议，围绕密度、空间选择性和社会空间再分配的空间概念。这种空间视角揭示了转变区域分配系统的隐含空间逻辑和内在的政治特征。我们得出结论，基本的能源转型需要更具包容性的治理和雄心勃勃的空间转型愿景。
