This introductory chapter argues that sustainable energy transitions require a shift from top-down governance to citizen-led, bottom-up participation. Citizens and 'prosumers' are presented as emerging actors driving decentralization, democ…

Rafael Leal-Arcas

Examines smart grid development and its implications for energy governance and citizen participation in the EU context. Analyses how smart grids support decarbonization and consumer empowerment while introducing risks around data governance…
