enerigoissa

Enerigoissa is a Finnish-language term used to describe a framing or analytical approach that centers energy systems as a primary driver of social, economic, and political life. The expression is not widely standardized in dictionaries or in peer-reviewed Finnish research, and it often appears as a neologism or informal usage in policy debates and some academic writing. When employed, enerigoissa denotes discussions of how energy infrastructure, markets, and governance shape institutions, behavior, and policy outcomes, and how energy scarcity, price volatility, or decarbonization pressures influence development trajectories and governance choices.

In terms of formation, the base energia (energy) combines with a locative-like suffix to form the neologism enerigoissa; spellings vary and standardization is lacking. Because it is informal and not uniformly recognized, usage varies and some linguists view it as a nonstandard or stylistic device rather than a technical term.

Within energy studies and political economy, enerigoissa discussions are used to analyze topics such as energy security, resilience, sustainability transitions, and the governance of electricity, oil, and gas, with attention to how energy flows condition social arrangements and policy options.
