Abstract
The global energy system is still dependent on fossil fuels, but it has become necessary to change this system immediately. In this research, I conduct a case study of the Central Java province in Indonesia to consider how an energy transition can be implemented at the subnational level. I investigate factors influencing the adoption of renewable energy in the province. I use the multi-level perspective and strategic niche management framework. Findings demonstrate that the existing electricity regime of state-owned electricity company Perusahaan Listrik Negara is hampering development of solar rooftops at the niche level. Furthermore, development of renewable enegy in Central Java cannot be considered a full energy transition because... (More)

Findings demonstrate that the existing electricity regime of state-owned electricity company Perusahaan Listrik Negara is hampering development of solar rooftops at the niche level. Furthermore, development of renewable enegy in Central Java cannot be considered a full energy transition because there is no change from existing energy sources; rather it encompasses an addition of new energy sources to already existing ones. In addition, growing the share of renewables in the energy mix could be the first step towards a transition. (Less)
