Between efficiency and democracy: Explaining support and resistance towards energy transition and prosumer solutions in Polish and Czech housing cooperatives
Energy Commons During Crisis: Understanding Housing Cooperative Strategies Through Dramaturgical Sociology
The importance of energy as a common good becomes especially pronounced during crises. This paper reconstructs the response of housing cooperatives – a specific type of energy community – to the energy crisis. To this end, we apply eighteen impression management strategies inspired by Erving Goffman’s dramaturgical sociology. We analyse a unique dataset of annual reports from Polish rural housing cooperatives, which display a range of reactive, p…
Enough pain, cold, and illness! Social movements in response to energy poverty in Europe
Energy affordability challenges are increasingly generating collective dissatisfaction in Europe, but also collective solutions. We study the experiences of three social movements of relevance to energy poverty across Europe (in North Macedonia, Poland, and Spain) that have pushed for or proposed legislation acts in parliaments to promote new governance models prioritizing the needs of energy-poor households. These movements reflect the demands f…
Navigating urban tensions and injustices in domestic heating transitions: A case study of coal phase-out in social housing
Energy poverty, housing conditions, and self-assessed health: Evidence from Poland
Energy poverty, i.e., inefficient heating and insufficient access to energy services, can turn a shelter into a health hazard. We find that substandard housing and ineffective heating is associated with a higher risk of poor health in an urban context. We surveyed people living in two middle-sized cities in a coal-dependent region of Poland and used objective and subjective indicators of energy poverty and self-assessed health status. We demonstr…
Tackling (Not Only) Air Pollution: Cross-sectional Tensions behind State-led Energy Retrofit Program in Poland
According to the World Health Organization, 36 out of the 50 most polluted cities in the EU in 2018 were in Poland. In response to public pressure and supranational obligations, the state-led, household-oriented energy retrofit Clean Air Priority Program (CAPP) was launched in 2018. We investigate how the Polish state, local actors, and market organizations within this program dynamically compete and cooperate to enforce their agendas. Using in-d…
Hard coal phase-out and the labour market transition pathways: The case of Poland
Rendered invisible: Institutional misrecognition and the reproduction of energy poverty
This paper makes the case that a lack of political and institutional recognition underpins the (re)production of domestic energy poverty. Previous research into the drivers of energy poverty has tended to focus on household-scale material and economic factors, with relatively little attention paid to the symbolic structures that act to legitimise deprivation. To evidence our argument, we draw on a case study of Poland during the period 2010–2015,…
What is in it for me?” A people-centered account of household energy transition co-benefits in Poland
Low-Carbon Gentrification: When Climate Change Encounters Residential Displacement
This article focuses on the emergence of 'low-carbon' gentrification as a distinct urban phenomenon, a process that we see as the outcome of efforts to change the social and spatial composition of urban districts under the pretext of responding to climate change and energy efficiency imperatives. The article develops a conceptual framework for scrutinizing low-carbon gentrification, predicated upon insights from literatures on ecological gentrifi…
Multiple transformations: Theorizing energy vulnerability as a socio-spatial phenomenon
The on-going transition towards low-carbon forms of energy provision (frequently termed ‘energy transitions’) has triggered far-reaching material, economic and institutional reconfigurations at the global scale. There is evidence to suggest that energy transitions increase the social vulnerability of actors involved in and affected by them, including entities operating at different scales, from individual households to entire states. However, the…
