abstract: "<p>This study explores the socio-technical lock-ins influencing the energy transition of electricity grid infrastructure in the Netherlands and examines how these lock-ins can drive adaptive change. It is a <strong>qualitative research study</strong> that employs an <strong>abductive approach</strong>, integrating theoretical insights with empirical findings. Data collection involved <strong>semi-structured interviews (N=11) with key actors from a Dutch Distribution System Operator (DSO)</strong> and <strong>document analysis (N=7) of sustainability strategies, grid operations, and congestion management reports</strong>. The dataset includes coded interview data identifying lock-in mechanisms and responses, as well as a structured analysis of documents highlighting causal relationships for a qualitative system dynamics model.</p>"
