요약The goal of this dissertation is to examine the Chilean energy transition, and particularly the recent boom in utility scale wind and solar energies, from a multiscalar, multi-sited perspective. It is guided by two main questions: a) how is the Chilean energy transition governed and what is the resulting balance between state, market, and civil society actors in the resulting energy regime and b) what does the energy transition mean for communities in areas of high concentration of renewable energy generation projects. Combining insights from political ecology and political economy, I pursue these questions across research in Santiago, Chile's capital, and in the Antofagasta region of the Atacama Desert, specifically, two community research sites, Taltal and Calama, areas which have experienced a boom in renewable energies in recent years. This dissertation is based on a total of 12 months of field work in Chile where I conducted semi-structured interviews, document analysis, and participant observation as the main methods of data collection. I find that despite recent efforts to make energy governance in Chile more participatory, recent changes are best understood as a market perfecting and enabling of global renewable firms to extract profit. I show that via market mechanisms as the primary tool of governance, risk must be allocated in particular ways to invite and protect investment. I argue that this model is problematic for two main reasons: a) it links expanded renewable energy production to the continued and expanding extraction of minerals, and b) by catering to the needs of global firms, it perpetuates socio-environmental conflict and injustice at the local scale, particularly in Indigenous communities. Thus, in many ways the renewable energy boom resembles past rounds of capitalist production with highly uneven distribution of costs and benefits. What is novel, however, is that the renewables boom is presented as a solution to the climate crisis. This work underscores the necessity for a reimagined governance approach that truly supports just and equitable energy futures.

요약l objetivo de esta disertacion es examinar la transicion energetica chilena, y en particular elreciente auge de las energias eolicas y solares a gran escala, desde una perspectiva multiescalar ymultisituada. Se guia por dos preguntas principales: a) ¿como se gobierna la transicion energeticaen Chile y cual es el equilibrio resultante entre los actores del estado, el mercado y la sociedadcivil en el regimen energetico resultante? y b) ¿que significa la transicion energetica para lascomunidades en areas de alta concentracion de proyectos de generacion de energia renovable?Combinando perspectivas de la ecologia politica y la economia politica, persigo estas preguntas atraves de la investigacion en Santiago, la capital de Chile, y en la region de Antofagasta deldesierto de Atacama, especificamente, en dos sitios de investigacion comunitaria, Taltal yCalama, areas que han experimentado un auge en las energias renovables en los ultimos anos.Esta disertacion se basa en un total de 12 meses de trabajo de campo en Chile, donde realiceentrevistas semiestructuradas, analisis de documentos y observacion participante como losprincipales metodos de recoleccion de datos. Encuentro que, a pesar de los esfuerzos recientespor hacer que la gobernanza energetica en Chile sea mas participativa, los cambios recientes seentienden mejor como un perfeccionamiento del mercado que habilita a las empresas renovablesglobales para extraer beneficios. Muestro que, a traves de mecanismos de mercado como laherramienta principal de gobernanza, el riesgo debe ser asignado de maneras particulares parainvitar y proteger la inversion. Argumento que este modelo es problematico por dos razonesprincipales: a) vincula la expansion de la produccion de energia renovable a la continua ycreciente extraccion de minerales, y b) al atender las necesidades de las empresas globales,perpetua el conflicto socioambiental y la injusticia a escala local, particularmente encomunidades indigenas. Asi, en muchos sentidos, el auge de las energias renovables se asemeja arondas anteriores de produccion capitalista con una distribucion altamente desigual de costos ybeneficios. Lo novedoso, sin embargo, es que el auge de las renovables se presenta como unasolucion a la crisis climatica. Este trabajo subraya la necesidad de un enfoque de gobernanzareimaginado que realmente apoye futuros energeticos justos y equitativos.
