Excited to join the Cyprus Forum 2023 as a panelist discussing 'Decarbonisation & energy security in East Med’. Date & Time: Sat, Sept 30th, 15:00 EEST. Programme: https://t.co/1tUF6qq3vA Livestream:

Excited to be presenting next week at the UK Network for Environmental Economists our work on heat pumps.

This indicates a clear policy agenda for stimulating and supporting emerging local energy markets. Check our paper for further discussion on policy relevance

This combination of needs and enablers characterises the local conditions under which LES are most likely to thrive within the broad local energy landscape.

We show that local areas with more economic activity in the tech sector, local authorities with strategic planning, and active energy efficiency markets have stronger enablers of LES involving multiple actors, sectors, and skill sets.

We show that local areas with higher levels of renewable generation, more EV charging infrastructure, and less accessible gas infrastructure, have greater needs for LES to manage and balance electricity networks.

Using a unique dataset of 146 LES, we identify energy, institutional, and socio-economic conditions significantly associated with LES, but not other local energy forms.

We focus on local energy systems (LES), designed to decarbonise, balance, and coordinate supply, storage, and demand resources. LES have functioned as testbeds of innovation at the local level in the UK over the last decade.

What are the local conditions driving the decentralisation of energy systems? Interested to find out? Then, check my latest @RegionalStudies paper with Charlie Wilson and Silvia Ferrini, hot off the press. Small thread below. https://t.co/RRFS2KIiu7

Our paper with @VMonastiriotis and @TPanagiotidis on the drivers of convergence now printed. What is the role of first- and second-nature geography?

📢📢NEW PAPER KLAXON📢📢 Grab a cup of tea and read about how the ESE framework, developed as part of @UKERC's ADVENT project, can be used how to assess the impact of energy scenarios on society and the natural environment #energytwitter #renewables https://t.co/0iVYOqgdsA

Many thanks to @MEDevEcon and @ArnoHan for helpful comments in the long process of developing this paper.

Thus, (a) convergence is an endogenous process, related to shared and incongruent characteristics of regions; (b) regional disparities are structural (linked to economic and spatial structure) and thus require targeted policies in order to be addressed.

We find limited-only and cluster-like convergence, driven predominantly by factors related to accessibility, sectoral specialisations, labour market dynamism, market potential and selected locational characteristics.

Using data for Greece, we test for the presence of stochastic convergence in the country over three decades; identify the pairs of regions which exhibit co-movement in their growth dynamics; and examine the covariates of this.
