Solidarity Energy Industry - Perspectives, Strategies, Challenges

The ecological advantages of renewable energy have been emphasized countless times, however until now the social possibilities, which can be opened up through a de-centralized energy production, have been largely ignored. These advantages are the development of municipal common goods and the strengthening of local self-administration.

Elektrizitätswerke Schönau, Klimaschutz+ Stiftung and die Akademie für solidarische Ökonomie investigate the question of how the necessary energy revolution can be used to change not only the energy sources but also the economic and ownership structures.  Together we will identify the fundamentals of a solidarity energy industry, which will serve the development of public common goods and implementation strategies will be envisioned.
