Between markets, politics and path-dependence: Explaining the growth of solar and wind power in six Central and Eastern European countries

This article contributes to the recent scholarly attempts towards bridging different energy studies perspectives in
explaining the change of energy systems. Informed by political, socio-technical and techno-economic perspectives on energy transitions, we focus on explaining the divergent solar and wind power deployment rates across
six Central and Eastern European countries. We suggest and test the proposition that the interplay of four key
factors has shaped this development: state capacities, relations with Russia, technological lockin and electricity
import dependency. We find that the countries relations towards Russia, the level of nuclear power lock-in and
the state intervention in the energy sector have been instrumental in affecting the adoption of wind and solar
power. The integrated framework and the findings presented in the article should encourage future energy
transition research to capture and trace the interplay among different factors in an integrated and comparable
manner.
