economic, ethical, behavioral, governance and public policy aspects of urban
energy systems.

Theme
Urban energy systems are going through fundamental technological and societal
changes in the transition to sustainable energy systems. From being passive
agglomerations of energy consumption and environmental pollution, the future
energy provision of cities is deemed to be cleaner, smarter and closer to the
needs of citizens. For a successful transition towards sustainable urban
energy systems, technological and social innovations need to be aligned with
the underlying societal values and guided by the wider institutional and
governance context.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
Governance, policy and regulation of urban energy systems
Social innovations and local energy initiatives
Responsible innovation in energy systems
Energy justice and poverty
Energy demand: energy demand side management, energy efficiency,
energy consumption and conservation
Public engagement, controversies and conflicts in changing energy
systems, participatory methods, consumer empowerment
Digitalization: smart grid, artificial intelligence and blockchain
technology
Integration of energy systems: electricity, gas and heating
