Decentralized energy systems have numerous advantages over mega energy projects, including environmental friendliness, lower upfront costs, greater affordability and reliability, lower risks, an easier ability to cope with system failures, and community empowerment. Despite these advantages, the type of governance used when constructing these systems can play an important role in yielding these positive impacts to local communities. This study investigates how renewable energy projects can fail under certain types of governance. We use case studies in Indonesia and Nepal to demonstrate the problems and factors in terms of the governance structures that have diminished the performance of decentralized small-scale renewable energy projects. The Indonesian case study focuses on the top-down governance of a renewable energy project. The project’s promotion under a conventional central government-led framework resulted in a process of granting renewable energy plants to local governments without considering stakeholders. In the Nepalese case, a renewable energy project was designed using a polycentric approach to governance. However, the donor (the European Commission) remotely controlled the project process, thereby hampering the intended polycentric governance strategy, which was originally conceived to include multi-level stakeholders. By focusing on real cases throughout a project’s progress, this study illustrates how monopolized power excludes the interests and commitments of multi-stakeholder interests and commitments to a project, which impinges on the final result.

在尼泊尔和印度尼西亚调查不同治理方法下分散的可再生能源系统:治理如何失败?

与大型能源项目相比,分散式能源系统具有许多优势,包括环境友好、前期成本更低、可负担性和可靠性更高、风险更低、更容易应对系统故障以及社区赋权。尽管有这些优势,在构建这些系统时使用的治理类型可以在对当地社区产生这些积极影响方面发挥重要作用。这项研究调查了可再生能源项目如何在某些类型的治理下失败。我们使用印度尼西亚和尼泊尔的案例研究来展示治理结构方面的问题和因素,这些问题和因素降低了分散的小型可再生能源项目的绩效。印度尼西亚案例研究侧重于可再生能源项目的自上而下治理。该项目在传统的中央政府主导框架下的推广导致了在不考虑利益相关者的情况下向地方政府授予可再生能源发电厂的过程。在尼泊尔的案例中,使用多中心治理方法设计了一个可再生能源项目。然而,捐助者(欧盟委员会)远程控制了项目过程,从而阻碍了预期的多中心治理战略,该战略最初设想包括多层次的利益相关者。本研究通过关注项目整个过程中的真实案例,说明垄断权力如何排除多利益相关者的利益和承诺以及对项目的承诺,这会影响最终结果。
