European small-town Renewable Energy Communities: Participatory design of supporting tools as a vehicle to engage and understand local communities and their energy related concerns

Abstract

This data set was collected in the context of the EU Horizon 2020 project LocalRes focusing on the energy transition and the involvement of citizens. Co-design workshops were held with citizens in four different demonstration sites in Europe to develop Renewable Energy Communities and introducing support tools like an application to foster this process. The aim was to gather the information regarding the interests, needs and concerns of citizens regarding the support tools and the Renewable Energy Community itself. The presented data is based on a questionnaire which was handed out during the workshops
