The role of energy democracy and energy citizenship for participatory energy transitions: A comprehensive review

Madeleine Wahlund et al.

Summary: This paper aims to identify the similarities and differences between the concepts of 'energy democracy' and 'energy citizenship' and synthesize their contributions to citizen participation in energy transitions. The review of literature shows that these concepts often refer to participation in domestic energy technologies, energy communities, energy transition movements, and energy policy. Energy citizenship tends to focus on individual behavior change and participation in energy systems, while energy democracy focuses on institutionalization of participatory governance and the role of collectives.
