About the project

SocialRES fosters socially innovative and inclusive strategies for empowering citizens in the renewable energy market of the future.

It also sets the basis for a better understanding of the socio-economic, socio-cultural, socio-political and gender factors that influence the behaviour of consumers in the energy system. SocialRES promotes the development of new cooperation patterns among the key enabling actors for energy democracy: cooperatives, energy aggregators and crowdfunding platforms.
