17.06.2025 | Energy Communities and Socio-Technical Transformations: Energy Democracy and Justice in the ECOEMPOWER Project’s Pilot Sites in Trentino, Italy
We are pleased to have participated with ECOEMPOWER in this international conference at Politecnico di Milano on June 12th.
Our contribution focused on the role of energy communities in promoting socio-technical transformation, with a particular emphasis on energy democracy and justice. Drawing from case studies in the Trentino region of Italy, the speakers presented findings from the ECOEMPOWER project, highlighting the potential of community-based energy initiatives to contribute to more equitable and participatory energy transitions.
The presentations examined how local actors engage in shaping energy systems, the challenges they face in terms of governance and infrastructure, and the broader implications for environmental justice.
