Abstract

Because of liberalization, in response to climate change policy and as a reaction to threads of energy security the energy sector finds itself in a process of fundamental change. Renewable energies are ascribed a much greater importance than currently. Besides technical problems especially organizational and financial questions have to be solved. One type of organization for the deployment of renewable energies are citizen participation schemes. However, the term is connected with different contents and used in different contexts. In this contribution, a working definition of the term citizen participation scheme from a financial perspective is provided where some of the discussion contexts are illuminated.
