Recommendations to support Energy Citizenship
In the framework of the project "EC² - Energy Citizenship and Energy Communities for a Clean-Energy Transition", a team of experts produced a set of six policy briefs, covering key issues for a just, sustainable and citizen-centred energy transition.
The aim of these policy briefs is to provide comprehensive, research-based recommendations for facilitating and accelerating the energy transition. They target policymakers and practictioners active at the EU, the national, the regional and the local governance levels.
The key takeaways are backed by interdisciplinary empirical research conducted as part of the project, taking into consideration economical, legal and psychological factors.
The six policy briefs:
- Policy Brief 1. Energy Citizenship: A missing piece to the energy transition puzzle?
- Policy Brief 2. How to mainstream energy citizenship in EU laws and tools
- Policy Brief 3. How to mainstream energy citizenship at the national level
- Policy Brief 4. Furthering energy citizenship in coal regions: the importance of sensitive, place-based transitions
- Policy Brief 5. Localised support for establishing and joining energy communities: how local and regional governments can help further energy citizenship
- Policy Brief 6. Recommendations for inclusive and empowered energy communities
