What is it about?
Many people understand our energy systems as purely technical systems. However, the way how they are set up is the results of decisions made by people. In this article, we look at if and how more inclusive ways of taking these decisions can produce more democratic outcomes.

Why is it important?
Our results show under which conditions new governance approaches in the energy sector can be successful and what makes many of the fail. These findings are relevant to academics, politicians, companies, NGOs and activists who want to create more democratic energy systems.
Perspectives
