Correlational Longitudinal Studies Energy Communities and Energy Citizenship

<p>Datasets collected as part of the project EC2 - Energy Citizenship and Energy Communities for a Clean-Energy Transition within WP4.</p>

<p>Data for this deliverable was collected among various types of energy communities and within different sociopolitical contexts:</p>

<ol>
<li>A representative sample of the Dutch general population via a pre-recruited panel (based on gender, education, income, and age; 3 waves with 6 months in between) & a gender representative sample of the Spanish general population via a pre-recruited panel (3 waves with 6 months in between).</li>
<li>Members and non-members of a network of local energy initiatives called Buurkracht (which roughly translates to “neighbor power”) in the Netherlands (2 waves with 9 months in between).</li>
<li>Members of the Global Ecovillage Network (GEN) in Europe (2 waves with 12 months in between).</li>
<li>Members of various energy communities in Europe (EU Ecom) via REScoop, the European federation of citizen energy cooperatives, and via the Local Governments for Sustainability global network (ICLEI).</li>
<li>The Polish Housing Cooperative Wroclaw South (HCWS) in which multiple energy community initiatives were initiated such as an initiative among residents to collectively decide to install PV systems on a particular building.</li>
</ol>

<p>More limited versions of these datasets (e.g., including socio-demographics, levels of involvement in energy communities, number of contacts within energy community, more detailed household energy measures) were published with open access on ZENODO:
