Whose energy citizenship? reflections on a global north construct

Description

Over recent years, energy citizenship, long an abstract somewhat nebulous term, has gained increasing currency in the energy transition discourse. This reflection draws from recent work (https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-70153-5) on the topic and takes a spatial lens to examining the meaning of citizenship in the energy domain. It critiques narrow, market-led views of participation and highlights inequality, power, and justice as central issues for the energy citizen. Acknowledging the diversity of relationships between people, place, and energy, it calls for a more inclusive, democratic, and collective approach to citizen involvement in the energy transition.
