Focusing on energy developments and energy infrastructure in Moroccan-occupied Western Sahara, this article engages with the politics of energy and energy citizenship in situations of conflict, authoritarianism and settler colonialism. We contribute to the body of research on how energy infrastructure, including renewable energy infrastructure, furthers (neo)colonial social and political power imbalances. Using Dominic Boyer’s concept of energopower, which allows us to explore how energy is used to govern populations and produce subjectivities, we argue that a colonial and oppressive energoregime will produce subjects hostile to itself. Putting colonised people’s lived experiences and perceptions of an oppressive energy system centre stage, we further research on the interrelationship between energy infrastructure, citizenship and identity by showing how an energoregime can inadvertently foster a rejection of certain citizenships and national identities in favour of others. Our data are generated using ethnography and semi-structured interviews with Saharawis living in Moroccan-occupied Western Sahara.

非洲最后一个殖民地的压迫性能源政治：能源、主体性和抵抗力

本文关注摩洛哥占领的西撒哈拉的能源发展和能源基础设施，探讨冲突、威权主义和定居者殖民主义情况下的能源政治和能源公民身份。我们为能源基础设施（包括可再生能源基础设施）如何加剧（新）殖民社会和政治权力失衡的研究做出贡献。使用多米尼克·博耶的能源权力概念，它使我们能够探索能源如何被用来管理人口和产生主体性，我们认为殖民和压迫性的能源政权将产生对自己怀有敌意的主体。以被殖民者的生活经历和对压迫性能源系统的看法为中心，我们进一步研究能源基础设施之间的相互关系，公民身份和身份认同，通过展示能源制度如何在不经意间助长对某些公民身份和国家身份的拒绝，以支持其他人。我们的数据是使用民族志和对生活在摩洛哥占领的西撒哈拉的撒哈拉人的半结构化访谈生成的。
