This paper examines the energy transition as a geographical process, focusing on the UK's low-carbon transition policy. It introduces six key concepts—location, landscape, territoriality, spatial differentiation, scaling, and spatially embeddedness—to describe and assess the geographical implications of transitioning to a low-carbon economy. The authors argue that the energy transition is not only a temporal process but also a spatial one, involving the reconfiguration of patterns and scales of economic and social activity. The paper highlights the importance of understanding the geographical context and implications of energy transition, particularly in terms of spatial variation, uneven development, and the potential for new geographical futures. The authors provide a conceptual framework to help evaluate the choices and pathways available in the transition to a low-carbon economy, emphasizing the need to consider the spatial dimensions of energy systems and their governance.This paper examines the energy transition as a geographical process, focusing on the UK's low-carbon transition policy.
