Abstract

This research focuses on the practical implementation of a 'just' transition in the municipality of Steenwijkerland, specifically exploring how community ownership relates to the energy transition. Currently, there is a pressing need to reduce emissions on a large scale and accelerate the energy transition. The 'just' transition aims to reduce community dependence on the oil and gas industry and promote self-sustainability. The study utilizes a qualitative research approach which involves the analysis of several policy documents, council meetings and six stakeholder interviews to gain insights into the role of community ownership in the process and outcome of renewable energy projects. Additionally, the study identifies challenges and success factors in the transition. Based on the findings, recommendations are given to promote a more equitable and justifiable 'just' transition in Steenwijkerland.
