| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We found that in the promotion of renewable energy, the roles of local governments include stabilizing business operations and securing power sources, enhancing their own interest, raising awareness of issues, and sharing information within the administrative organization and among stakeholders.
Furthermore, the analysis focused on Community Energy Business Entities revealed that, without government subsidies, it is practically hard to operate, and it is also important to establish systems to support municipalities that are experiencing a shortage of manpower. Additionally, there are few cases where municipal specialists are highly involved, and there is a tendency to rely on consultants and investee companies.This research reveals that the industrialization and innovation of renewable energy are far from being realized at this time. To achieve sustainable regional energy governance, stable business operations that can share challenges and goals and operate autonomously are necessary.

本研究では、九州地方を中心に聞き取り調査を重ねてきた。その結果、地方自治体の自律的な再生可能エネルギー事業運営の難しさが明らかになった。また、各地域の地域新電力の安定的な経営に向けては財源・人員とも十分内製化されておらず、自律的な電源調達も弱い側面があった。
他方、地域新電力が再生可能エネルギー事業経営を通して、脱炭素、災害や高齢者見守りなど、地域課題解決の新たな主体になり、その実態を把握したことは地域エネルギーガバナンス研究にとって学術的・社会的意義がある。本研究の限界は、調査が主に一部の県にとどまり、２つの県が未調査になった。この点に関しては、引き続き調査を行い動向把握する必要がある。
