Abstract Rapid growth in megacities has prompted deep transformations intended to change sociotechnical systems, deep social and institutional practices, and scientific inquiries to better understand energy and material flows of cities. Typically, these processes are defined by sociotechnical experimentation and purposive reshaping of the synergies between jurisdictions, sectors, and technical solutions required to optimize resource management and improve institutional diversity and its configurations. This chapter studies features of smart energy frameworks for smart cities leadership in an attempt to ignite transformations in energy business models for sustainability systems from the bottom up. Following this polycentric approach, the chapter documents seven emerging models for smart city energy governance, namely distributed energy resources development, energy storage, microgrids, demand response and energy management systems, smart measuring systems, energy harvesting, and green technology innovations. One observation is that while Singapore and Shanghai are a product of advanced polycentric strategic planning, the urban developments around the greater Jakarta area is an outcome of gradual alignments and reconfigurations of urban design toward the polycentric goal. In addition, energy systems and utility business models are changing simultaneously in several cities with respect to institutional contexts, urban planning, and customer choice. A key message of this chapter is that capturing the impacts of these urban transformation across the quartiles of energy resource development, technological progress, and policy stringency requires the design and implementation processes that simultaneously promotes polycentric authority and contributes to informed understanding of the scale and consequences of these transitions. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2021.
