The energy transition offers citizens and communities the choice of owning production, supply, and distribution of renewable energy in a fair and democratic way. More importantly, however, we need to ensure that we change the way we consume and use energy. A wide range of transition scenarios1 highlight the need to transform our energy consumption habits in order to achieve an energy sober and renewables-based Europe. REScoops (Renewable Energy Source Cooperatives) are a key means to engaging citizens to adopt smarter and more efficient energy consumption. In doing so, we better ensure the transformation of our production of energy to 100% renewables, and the transition of our energy system as a whole.
