The initial promise of the energy transition was straightforward: bring down the cost of low-carbon technologies, and market forces would drive their adoption. Over time, renewables technologies have matured and indeed become cost-competitive with fossil fuel-generated power in many countries around the world. Yet, sustaining their diffusion faces additional challenges ranging from supply chain issues, to system integration challenges, to public resistance and geopolitical crises. What does this shifting balance of drivers and barriers mean for setting and realising ambitious renewables targets? What types of policy sequences may be required as technologies mature and transitions progress, and how may these differ across national contexts? Through national-level empirical analyses, the papers in this panel contribute to developing a systematic understanding of (1) the evolution of barriers and drivers to renewables growth in different geographical contexts, and (2) the role of policies in navigating this shifting balance over time. By studying the interplay of policy and technology change across a diverse set of advanced and emerging economies, the papers in this panel help to illuminate what role processes of technological change and maturation on the one hand; and domestic institutions, policies and politics on the other hand, play in shaping policy-technology interactions and - eventually - energy transitions outcomes.
