  1. Innovation in governance: patterns and dynamics in the development of policy instruments Jan-Peter Voß Öko-Institut & University of Twente Progressing towards a sustainable electricity system? On the role of innovation in electricity system transformation TIPS final workshop in cooperation with Sussex Energy Group/ SPRU, University of Sussex Palisade Berlin, 28 November 2007

  2. Governance of electricity systems • …is one dimension of transformation • integral element in socio-technical systems and their dynamics • key area for strategy development • …is structured and follows own (institutional) dynamics • specific conditions of ‚utilisation‘ • what role for design in governance?

  3. Development of policy instruments • Policy instruments as specific forms of policy practice • instrumentally articulated • e.g. ‚emissions trading‘, ‚network access regulation‘ • Where do they come from?

  4. A toolbox of government?

  5. Political dynamics of governance?

  6. Designs on governance Science Policy development Governance domain

  7. Dynamics in governance domain Innovation journey of policy instrument Problem stream Science Policy development Authority stream Governance domain (implementation context) Policy technology stream Designs on governance

  8. Follow the instruments!

  9. Innovation journeys

  10. Design push design ‚pushes‘ dynamics and creates political demand emissions trading Dynamics pull dynamics ‚pull up‘ design as solution to policy problems network regulation Patterns of innovation

  11. Technological regime Domain B Domain C Domain A Technological regimes in governance ?

  12. Conclusions • Innovation in governance is complex and open-ended • Innovation is embedded and path dependent • Innovations have life of their own • Designs influence innovation, but do not control it • Reflexive approaches required to shape co-evolution of policy instruments with broader dynamics of governance
