Abstract

In Pima County, Arizona, where the consequences of global warming are particularly sensible (aridification, increasing temperatures, reduced precipitation), and where the solar potential is susbtantial, the deployment of solar energy has accelerated over the last years notably due to the county's historically politically progressive stance on environmental matters. Tucson Electric Power (TEP), the main utility of Pima County plays an equally major role as it has recently made a public commitment to the transition with the objective of increasing the share of renewables in its energy mix from 20% today to 70% by 2035. This process of energy transition is inscribed in a complex and multi-scale network of actors, comprising of public and private sectors. Who are the protagonists of this process and what are their perceptions on the transition? How does it fit into the local and regional socio-political context?
