Energy Democracy

Energy democracy promotes public participation and local ownership in energy systems. It aims to shift power from centralized utilities and fossil fuel interests to communities and individuals.

Community Ownership & Participation
Cooperatives, community solar, and shared renewables give people a stake in energy generation. Local planning and decision-making can improve outcomes and trust.

Transparency & Accountability
Democratic energy systems prioritize open governance, fair access, and protections for vulnerable groups. This includes stronger oversight of utilities and equitable policy design.

Empowerment In Transition
Energy democracy aligns with broader movements for environmental justice and sustainability. It encourages innovation, resilience, and a more inclusive clean energy future.
