Academic Paper
This report explores the idea of energy citizenship and identified three interrelated clusters of challenges in the emerging research in this area: 1) the multiplicity of ideals; 2) the performativity of idealizing social constructions and 3) the associated methodological challenges of operationalizing the concept into concrete empirical observables and relevant ‘cases of energy citizenship’.
