A new book from Frances Fahy, Director of the Ryan Institute and Established Professor of Geography has just been published by Palgrave Macmillan. ‘Energy Citizenship Across Europe’ is intended to provoke and progress new thinking in the field of energy research for policy makers, practitioners and scholars. By drawing on a broad range of social and innovation theory insights, this edited book showcases the diversity of energy citizenship and opens up the concept by including multiple 'latent', less visible, forms of energy citizenship that also form part of the energy transition.
