This study develops an integrated multilevel governance framework by adding indicators. Using this framework, this study analyzed Seoul’s energy transition and found that the energy transition has enhanced by embracing important values beyond the achievement of quantitative targets. From the vertical perspective, parts of national policies downloaded to shape the OLNPP.
