Energy Citizenship and Energy Communities for a Clean Energy Transition

Project description

Clean energy transition through citizen and community engagement

Energy citizenship involves the active involvement and empowerment of the people in the energy sector and is crucial to the EU's drive for clean-energy transition. Energy communities, non-commercial market actors in the energy sector, can also help to achieve this goal. The EU-funded EC2 project will develop a psychological conceptualisation to understand what it takes to become an energy citizen, and identify legal and socio-economic market factors that can hinder or promote the emergence of and engagement of citizens in energy communities. They will test these factors, their psychological underpinnings, and for the conduciveness of energy citizenship for broader sustainable policy goals to create digital tools with stakeholders to overcome these barriers.
