Destenie Nock, Andrew J. Jones, Stefan Bouzarovski, Harriet Thomson, Dominic J. Bednar
Abstract
What does it mean to build an equitable and just power system, and how do metrics used to assess energy justice affect the power industry? Across the world, countries are undergoing an energy transition. In the past, energy system build-out and operations have left some communities more heavily burdened than others (e.g., higher levels of air pollution or expensive energy bills).
