Abstract

In the Global South, the repurposing of decommissioned power stations offers a unique opportunity to address the energy crisis while advancing spatial justice. This paper explores the socio-spatial dimensions of energy transitions, with a focus on the role of spatial planning in facilitating a just energy transition that addresses the needs of historically marginalized communities through the equitable redistribution of resources and opportunities. Using PRISMA and bibliometric methods, the study examines the key themes and geographic trends shaping the discourse on spatial justice and renewable energy integration. The study also examines best practices in balancing socio-economic and environmental goals during the transition from coal to renewable energy, drawing on case studies from the Global South. The study’s findings highlight strategic insights for a Just Energy Transition in South Africa, emphasizing the need for policies that align spatial equity and social inclusivity with technical innovation.
