Imagining renewable energy: towards a Social Energy Systems approach to community renewable energy projects in the Global South (2017)
Journal Article
Cloke, J., Mohr, A., & Brown, E. (2017). Imagining renewable energy: towards a Social Energy Systems approach to community renewable energy projects in the Global South. Energy Research and Social Science, 31, 263-272. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.erss.2017.06.023

Rural community energy projects in the Global South have too frequently been framed within a top-down technologically-driven framework that limits their ability to provide sustainable solutions to energy poverty and improving livelihoods. This framin... Read More about Imagining renewable energy: towards a Social Energy Systems approach to community renewable energy projects in the Global South.
