The guide ‘A Citizen’s Guide to Energy Citizenship’ presents a central idea: the energy transition will only be complete if people actively participate in how energy is produced, used, and managed. The document explains that ‘energy citizenship’ ranges from everyday decisions made at home to involvement in collective projects, such as energy communities or shared investments in renewables. It emphasises that every level of participation is valuable and can evolve over time.

The text highlights concrete benefits: reduced costs, greater stability in the face of market volatility, support for the local economy, and improved energy resilience. It also draws attention to the environmental impact, noting that every citizen's action contributes to reducing emissions and accelerating the uptake of clean technologies. Experiences such as Som Energia show how collective organisation can scale from small initiatives to national movements.

The guide also outlines the rights that support this participation, such as generating and sharing energy, joining communities, accessing clear information, or switching suppliers easily. Finally, it offers practical ways to get started: contacting municipalities, joining cooperatives, undertaking energy renovations, or making use of European support programmes. The underlying message is clear: the transition needs citizens, and there are tools available for anyone who wishes to take part.
