Description

Transborder Electricity Infrastructures and Geopolitics. The energy map is being redrawn. This project aims to understand how the extension of renewable electricity grids across national borders inflects geopolitics. Designed to sustain the planet, these grids catalyse and respond to changing configurations of world power. The project is significant for specifying how the energy transition spurs the emergence of large infrastructural systems that reorganise the spatial dynamics of globalisation. Intended outcomes include insights into how transborder grids shift regulatory frameworks to meet challenges facing populations, economies and environments. The expected benefit is knowledge relevant to government and industry stakeholders engaged at the interface of energy policy and foreign affairs.. Scheme: Discovery Projects. Field: 4702 - Cultural Studies. Lead: Prof Brett Neilson
