Flexibility as a justice fix? A systematic review of demand-side response implications for energy-vulnerable households
Demand-Side Response (DSR) programmes reshape how energy is consumed at the residential level to ease pressure on the electricity grid by encouraging more responsive consumption patterns. Although often presented as a neutral optimisation mechanism, DSR can have differentiated impacts across social groups. This systematic review synthesised empirical evidence from 66 articles on the association between DSR and energy vulnerability. Using a vulner…
Are positive energy districts more prevalent in wealthier European regions
This study investigates the spatial relationship between renewable energy potential, economic prosperity, and the establishment of Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) across European regions. PEDs are connected clusters of buildings that generate a surplus of renewable energy on a yearly basis through local energy production and consumption, energy storage, and direct management of renewable energy sources. Beyond their technical contribution to ene…
Analysing perspectives on capital, mutual, and general interest
Renewable energy cooperatives (RECs) play a pivotal role in advancing a new energy paradigm that prioritizes equity and inclusivity. However, there is often ambiguity regarding their potential since their core principle of functioning revolves around serving the mutual interests of their members by providing energy services rather than addressing general- interest missions. Moreover, RECs still operate as businesses that are economically viable a…
Governing climate neutrality transitions at the urban level
Effectively addressing climate change in line with the Paris Agreement and the EU Climate Law requires the establishment of governance structures with the participation and coordination of all levels of government and where the local level plays a key role. This is evident with the emergence of city-to-city networks of urban policymakers and supporting initiatives such as the EU 100 Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities Mission. The purpose of this ar…
Post-disaster redevelopment and the “knowledge city”
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to critically examine the “knowledge city” spatial socio-economic imaginary used in the post-earthquake city of L’Aquila, Italy, to promote its socio-economic redevelopment. Design/methodology/approach The paper counters primary and secondary data with the expected qualities of a knowledge city. The analysis is supported by the literature review on knowledge-cities and post-disaster redevelopment, local and na…
