This talk examines the social and political dynamics of multi-national energy systems and develops a multi-scalar framework for analyzing energy justice within them, drawing on the case study of the ‘Desertec vision’ to build numerous solar power plants in the Sahara desert and export the power to Europe and North African responses to the idea of regional energy integration and local siting issues. This talk is part of a larger series, “Energy and Society: Communities of Energy in Transition.”
