It links research in innovation studies, sustainability transitions and science & technology studies and builds a new approach for the study of user contributions to innovation and sociotechnical change. Citizen Activities in Energy Transition gives detailed and empirically grounded overall appraisal of citizens' active technological engagement in the current energy transition, in an era when Internet connectivity has given rise to important new forms of citizen communities and interactions. It elaborates a new way to study users in sociotechnical change through long-term ethnographic and historical research and reports its deployment in a major, decade-long line of investigation on user activities in small-scale renewables, addressing user contributions from the early years to the late proliferation stages of small-scale renewable energy technologies (S-RETs). It offers much-needed empirical and theoretical understanding of the dynamics of the activities in which users are engaged in the course of sociotechnical change, including innovation, adoption, adjustment, intermediation, community building, digital communities, market creation, and legitimacy creation. This work is a must-read for those seeking to understand the role of users in innovation, energy systems change and the significance of new digital communities in present and future sociotechnical change. Academics, policy makers and managers are given a new resource to understand the "demand side" of sociotechnical change beyond the patterns of investment, adoption and social acceptance that have traditionally occupied their attention"-- Provided by publisher. 410 0$aRoutledge studies in innovation, organization and technology. 517 $aCitizen Activities in Energy Transition 606 $aEnergy conservation 606 $aEnergy conservation$vCongresses 610 $aEnergy industries and utilities 610 $aDevelopment economics and emerging economies 610 $aEnvironmental economics 615 0$aEnergy conservation. 615 0$aEnergy conservation 676 $a621.042 700 $aHyysalo$b Sampsa$01272196 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910476755803321 996 $aCitizen activities in energy transition$92996579 997 $aUNINA
