Pilot Society and the Energy Transition : The Co-Shaping of Innovation, Participation and Politics
Pilot Society and the Energy Transition: The Co-Shaping of Innovation, Participation and Politics examines the role of pilot and demonstration projects as key mechanisms for innovation in the transition toward sustainable energy systems. Drawing on perspectives from sustainability transitions and Science and Technology Studies (STS), the authors argue that pilot projects do more than test new technologies—they shape social, political, and institutional change. The book explores how these projects influence public participation, energy citizenship, governance, and innovation policy while emphasizing the need for more inclusive and democratic approaches to energy transitions. As an open-access volume, it provides valuable insights for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners interested in the social dimensions of low-carbon transformation.
