Descrizione del progetto
Mettere le persone al centro del percorso di decarbonizzazione
Benché la transizione verso l’energia pulita sia in corso, resta urgente il problema del ritmo a cui tale transizione sta avvenendo. Il progetto EnergyPROSPECTS, finanziato dall’UE, si propone di studiare i modi in cui la cittadinanza energetica influenza il processo di transizione verso l’energia pulita in tutta Europa. Attraverso approfonditi studi di casi, EnergyPROSPECTS elaborerà quadri di valutazione, set di indicatori e serie di strumenti per valutare criticamente le condizioni che favoriscono la cittadinanza energetica attiva. Il progetto abbinerà modelli adatti a diversi paesi e condurrà un sondaggio tra i cittadini per valutare la validità delle varie opzioni. In fasi chiave, il progetto produrrà risultati politici pratici e li discuterà con gli attori politici in workshop di scambio di conoscenze. Attraverso i suoi approcci innovativi, EnergyPROSPECTS farà avanzare la valutazione critica delle possibilità e dei limiti della cittadinanza energetica.
Obiettivo
EnergyPROSPECTS (PROactive Strategies and Policies for Energy Citizenship Transformation) will work with a critical understanding of energy citizenship that is grounded in state-of-the-art SSH insights. Our 3-year project aims to develop a broad understanding of energy citizenship, which we understand as a policy concept, a socio-technical imaginary, a knowing-of-governance, i.e. a social construction of desirable/normal civic agency in future energy systems. We identify and examine a range of cross-cutting issues in energy citizenship, which will inform iterative typology development and criteria for case selection. Drawing on existing databases and a search for new cases, we will select 500 initiatives and undertake mapping and typology refinement exercises to demonstrate the depth/breadth of the energy citizenship concept in theory and practice. 40 cases will be selected for in-depth analysis exploring development, evaluation, intermediaries, institutions, governance and ICT in energy systems. Using a multi-actor perspective, we will develop an empowerment toolkit for practitioners and citizens, co-create viable strategies, and develop new business and social innovation models, and new forms of organisation to advance energy citizenship. A critical part of the research involves analysing the external and internal contextual conditions as they support or hinder energy citizenship in its various forms. Based on the analysis we will match suitable models and forms of organisation with different countries, regions and contexts. We will conduct a citizen survey to appraise the validity of various scenarios and discuss and refine results in citizen workshops and policy forums. We will produce practical policy outputs which will be revised with policy actors in knowledge exchange workshops. Overall the project will advance state-of-the-art energy research and provide recommendations for harnessing energy citizenship to achieve energy and decarbonisation goals in Europe.
