How does spatial marginalisation impact equitable energy access, and how can spatial justice guide inclusive and sustainable energy transitions? This seminar addresses these questions through three distinct yet interrelated case-studies from Pakistan: off-grid solar electrification for a remote village in the Thar desert in Sindh; decentralised community-driven micro-hydro power projects in rural Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and energy infrastructure heterogeneity in Lahore’s urban peripheries. Using a socio-technical and intersectional lens, the talk explores how different forms of spatial marginality, including geographic isolation, socio-economic exclusion, and gendered infrastructural disparities impact energy access and shape sustainable development outcomes. It highlights spatial justice as a powerful and critical lens for achieving equity and inclusion in energy transitions, offering lessons and insights for energy policymakers, planners, and sustainability practitioners.
