The essay proposes an in-depth analysis of two Italian case studies, that are interweaving new forms of collaborative housing and energy prosumption sharing. They were both born and implemented before Italian legislation on cohousing and energy communities took effect. In terms of domestic life and energy management, they entail real experiments in sharing spaces, times, and activities. These initiatives took place in different parts of the country with different economic and cultural characteristics.Within the theoretical framework of political consumerism, we analyze the community dimension and action of these initiatives in relation to citizen/ customer engagement in energy transition processes.

Political Consumerism for the Energy Transition and Collaborative Housing: Two Experimental Cases in Italy

2023

Abstract

The essay proposes an in-depth analysis of two Italian case studies, that are interweaving new forms of collaborative housing and energy prosumption sharing. They were both born and implemented before Italian legislation on cohousing and energy communities took effect. In terms of domestic life and energy management, they entail real experiments in sharing spaces, times, and activities. These initiatives took place in different parts of the country with different economic and cultural characteristics.Within the theoretical framework of political consumerism, we analyze the community dimension and action of these initiatives in relation to citizen/ customer engagement in energy transition processes.
