Energy Transition and Energy Democracy in East Asia

---

Today, wind powers and solar powers have become the main stream of
energies. Everyone, from major electric power utilities to mega capital investors, has
entered the renewable energy sector, increasingly and rapidly expanding the mass
capital investment projects in the world. It is not rare to find cases of such mega
projects developing confrontations with local communities. Since 1990s, the privatization of energy sector has been significant, with Nordic countries and Germany
seeing the advancement of privatizations among community-operated energy utilities. Recently, however, there has been the movement to re-review such trend “to
revive public utilities”. The recent reversal of privatization trend means that the
conventional way of decision-making participated by local governments and handful
corporations is no longer appropriate, and there is a rise of common understanding
that the decision-making and governance method of local communities must be open
and distributed horizontally. The rapid progress of ICT in recent years has raised
awareness of risks in the governance system dominated by private companies, while
raising technical capabilities to realize new and open decision-making and governance in local communities
