From outsourcing to embeddedness
Public authorities increasingly rely on consultants to navigate sustainability transitions, yet research typically treats consultants' influence as episodic and external to governance itself. This study asks how consultants instead become durable, structural participants in public-sector governance, shaping how energy-transition policies are designed, coordinated, and legitimized. Using Sweden's energy transition as an empirical case, we draw on …
Home heating transition in Finland, Romania, Sweden and the United Kingdom through the combined lens of energy democracy, energy citizenship and energy justice
From Lone Wolf to Collective Action
Despite Sweden's consistently high ranking in international gender‐equality indices and a higher‐than‐average percentage of women in leadership roles, women remain a minority in the Swedish energy sector. This article traces how women, positioned as a minoritized group within this male‐dominated field, develop the motivation to collectively challenge systemic inequality. The aim of the study is to examine how individual experiences of isolation a…
Implementing EU-defined energy communities in the Nordics
The Nordic countries have well-established community energy traditions. However, the extent to which these traditions align with the European Union’s definition of energy communities varies from country to country.The EU’s Clean Energy Package introduced renewable and citizen energy communities (RECs/CECs) to strengthen citizen participation in electricity markets. Nordic countries, however, have long-standing traditions of community-based energy…
Home heating cultures in transition
Toward energy democracy
This article examines the role of Swedish municipalities and municipally-owned energy utilities (MEUs) in advancing energy democracy through local renewable energy projects. Energy democracy emphasizes citizen participation and local control in energy governance. However, traditional representative democracy and municipal involvement remain central in Sweden, where trust in institutions and high taxation support a strong municipal role in public …
From warming bodies to heating spaces
Home heating transitions influence sociocultural practices and bring about structural changes in daily life. To uncover the power dynamics underpinning these transformations, this paper applies a visionary framework for feminist energy systems designed to challenge hegemonic and unsustainable energy cultures in pursuit of a more just and equitable future. Drawing on the framework's political, economic, socio-ecological, and technological dimensio…
Gender-based opportunity structure in the energy sector
A gender perspective on the circular economy
The circular economy (CE) challenges the traditional linear economic model by emphasizing the importance of resource efficiency, recycling, and regeneration in society. However, the role of gender in CE practices remains underexplored. This article presents a systematic literature review on how gender dynamics intersect with CE, highlighting the implications of gendered labor distribution, access to resources, and decision‐making processes. Women…
Flexible electricity consumption policies in Norway and Sweden
Energy communities in Sweden
This paper contributes to the discussion about the importance of different energy community (EC) characteristics. Based on a questionnaire to the members of solar ECs in Sweden, it investigates (1) to what extent EC members agree with the established view of the “ideal” energy community, as described in previous literature, and (2) to what extent the studied ECs match the characteristics of such an “ideal” energy community, according to their mem…
The development of social science research on smart grids
Exploring energy citizenship in the urban heating system with the ‘Walking with Energy’ methodology
Drivers and barriers to participation in Sweden's local flexibility markets for electricity
Local flexibility markets (LFM) for electricity are in their early stages, and most research has focused on their design aspects and aggregators, while little attention has been paid to providers and potential providers of flexibility resources. The present research aims to fill this gap by analysing data from 25 in-depth interviews with enrolled and potential flexibility service providers of two LFMs in Sweden. The primary goal of the analysis i…
The role of energy democracy and energy citizenship for participatory energy transitions
Increasingly, scholarly debates and policy developments on citizen participation in energy transitions have included calls for ‘energy democracy’ and active forms of ‘energy citizenship’. The concepts are tightly connected to the debate on energy transition, and the need for a decentralised energy system, based on renewable energy and increased local energy ownership. The two concepts exist in parallel and are sometimes used as synonyms and somet…
New clean energy communities in polycentric settings
Given the gaps between EU ambitions regarding energy community development and the current reality of clean energy communities in Europe, we explore a research framework enabling viable multi- and interdisciplinary research into new clean energy communities. We offer a definition of new clean energy communities, discuss their potential for wider dissemination and identify four factors that contribute to the current mismatch between ambitions and …
Perceptions of participation and the role of gender for the engagement in solar energy communities in Sweden
Collaborative planning through dialogue models
Sweden is considered an environmental sustainability pioneer, targeting a 50% reduction in energy use in buildings by 2050. This ambitious goal requires the active engagement of municipal actors and the building sector. Dialogue processes have been identified as a way to mobilize such engagement, but in earlier research, there has been a lack of studies where dialogue practices are analyzed in real-time and on location and where the role of leade…
Sufficiency, change, and flexibility
Between grassroots and treetops
The speed and progress of transitions towards renewable energy systems varies greatly between European member states. Among others, these differences have been attributed to the emergence of grassroots initiatives (GIs) that develop radical ideas and sustainable practices. The goal of this paper is to understand the differences in the emergence of GIs for renewable energy in relation to the institutional characteristics of Denmark, the Netherland…
Understanding energy efficiency in Swedish residential building renovation
The Meanings of Practices for Energy Consumption – a Comparison of Homes and Workplaces
We examine how building and appliance technologies relate to their use by occupants through practices at home and at work. The aim is to analyse how practices are influenced by buildings and other technologies and by social requirements and to add to ongoing research on how to contribute to a transition to more sustainable everyday practices. Interview, quantitative and observational material are used to compare experiences of occupying and using…
Energy Efficiency in Tenant–Owners' Residences
This article focuses on how Sweden's largest tenant–owners' organization, HSB, deals with energy efficiency. The aim is to examine HSB's energy goals, how they are determined and how they should be implemented at four levels: the national association, the regional office, the local housing co-operatives and the tenant–owners. Representatives of all four levels were interviewed. Achieving energy goals calls for common strategies involving all leve…
Governing the sea rescue service in Sweden
This paper discusses how various actors communicate about and coordinate sea rescue activities in networks. We combine a network approach with theories of inter‐organization communication to understand how communication can facilitate or limit coordination in networks. Search and rescue officers retain the overall authority to direct rescue missions, and coordination with several other professions is central to this. When coordinating different p…
Visualising Household Energy Use in the Interest of Developing Sustainable Energy Systems
In times of climate change political goals concern a reduction in total energy consumption and to use energy more efficiently. To achieve this, users need to transform their behaviour and start reflecting on their energy use. This paper discusses three different methods for visualising energy use, namely information tools, keeping time-diaries and using the ‘Power-Aware Cord’. Each method has its pros and cons, but combining different methods cou…

Who is Governing What? Governing Local Technical Systems–an Issue of Accountability
The article discusses accountability in governance of local energy and IT systems. The aim is to focus on accountability of local policy making regarding technical systems by comparing consequences when new forms of governance are developed. Governance steering demands and ensures a clear division of responsibility regarding what a network is responsible for, but not regarding who is accountable for the decision making and implementation. On the …
