 ===== Why this matters =====
-The dominant framing of smart grids focuses on digital infrastructure. But how technical capabilities translate into outcomes depends on whether the actors, institutions, and financial mechanisms surrounding them are also fit for purpose. Studies of microgrid deployments in India show that a technically capable system can fail if it lacks the financial mechanisms to sustain revenue flows, the social legitimacy to maintain user participation, or the relationship with government infrastructure needed to operate effectively in its context.((Kumar, A. (2019). Beyond technical smartness: Rethinking the development and implementation of sociotechnical smart grids in India. //Energy Research & Social Science//, 49, 158–168. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.erss.2018.10.026))
