Case study: Energy democracy challenges

3. Reflective Questions

Whether you are a member of an energy community or not, you may want to consider: 

  • What does energy democracy mean to you? 
  • How can we involve everyone in the conversation about energy and the digital energy transition?
  • What are the main barriers and challenges for energy democracy in your country, region, town/city etc.?
  • What would you consider good examples of energy democracy?

If you are an energy community member or leader, you might want to consider:  

  • What does energy democracy mean within the context of our energy community?
  • How could our energy community better support and empower both our members and the wider community?
  • Who is missing from our activities and conversations? What barriers to participation are there to joining our energy community? 
  • How can we support everyone to have a say in how energy is produced, managed and shared in our community?
