Transformative portfolios in the Dutch municipal heat transition
Research on transition intermediation has not yet explored what strategies intermediaries can adopt, or what challenges they face, when pursuing transformative goals in projectified environments in more mature phases of transitions. This study conceptualizes transformative portfolios (coherent and coordinated sets of projects and interventions) as relational infrastructures: principles and mechanisms through which interventions are strategically …
Energy sharing within Dutch energy communities
Energy sharing arrangements should prioritize solidaristic goals rather than market gain if it is to embody principles of commons. This includes participation, ownership and distribution key choices. Policy decisions around technical elements such as distribution keys and allocation models should be cognizant of distributional implications and should not constrain ECs in their ability to pursue their objectives. • Enabling sharing with free choic…
Blending in, to transform the regime from within
This study aimed to get a better and more nuanced understanding of niche strategies in practice. Niche hybridisation strategies were conceptualised in relation to the three core dimensions of socio-technical systems (institutions, actors, and technology). This conceptualisation was applied to the case of Community Power (CP). CP is a community-owned supply company that combines elements of cooperative and commercial organisations, which are favou…
Together we're smart! Flemish and Dutch energy communities' replication strategies in smart grid experiments
Increasingly, energy communities engage in smart grid experiments to explore new ways to collectively generate, consume, store, manage, and trade energy. Transition literature puts forward that replication of such experiments is essential for socio-technical transformation. However, in practice many experiments remain rather isolated events that fail to contribute to sustainability transitions. Moreover, while the literature points to the importa…
The merits of becoming smart
Recent developments in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and ongoing digitalisation processes play key roles in the energy transition. It is often argued that digital technology has the potential to empower citizens and communities and thereby contribute not only to a more sustainable but also to a more democratic and fairer energy system. It is however unclear how the increasing number of frontrunner energy communities that enter th…
Community energy meets smart grids
Community-driven energy initiatives are seen as important drivers of the energy transition. So far these initiatives focused mainly on energy generation and conservation. Recently however, some initiatives started to adopt smart grid technologies like Virtual Power Plants (VPP) which enables them to become involved in the distribution, trading and management of energy. By adopting a multiple-methods approach consisting of literature reviews on co…
Institutional ‘lock-out’ towards local self-governance? Environmental justice and sustainable transformations in Dutch social housing neighbourhoods
