Norouzi, F. (author), Hoppe, T. (author), Kamp, L.M. (author), Manktelow, C. (author), Bauer, P. (author)With its potentially disruptive nature, the smart grid can be viewed from both a transformational and an innovation systems perspective. Synthesising these, a research approach is adopted in which a Technological Innovation System (TIS) analysis is combined with a transformational perspective to identify a broader range of success and failure...review 2023

Noori, Negar (author), Hoppe, T. (author), De Jong, Martin (author), Stamhuis, Evert (author)In the quest for Smart City (SC) development, numerous examples of ‘good practices’ have circulated in national and international policy arenas. Learning from good practices elsewhere is a common approach for cities to initiate and develop SC policies of their own. Nevertheless, because of political, legal and cultural differences across...journal article 2023

Manktelow, Christopher (author), Hoppe, T. (author), Bickerstaff, Karen (author), Itten, A.V. (author), Fremouw, M.A. (author), Naik, M.S. (author)Co-creation is often presented as a solution to challenges of achieving energy transitions. However, there is currently little known about how coordinating stakeholders, such as city administrations, interpret co-creation and the extent to which this influences co-creation processes. We draw on a recent project, which embedded co-creation in...journal article 2023

Ma, Wenting (author), de Jong, W.M. (author), Zisopoulos, Filippos (author), Hoppe, T. (author)Chinese cities are experiencing rapid urban development while facing severe challenges of environmental pollution. China's central government has proposed several policies to reduce urban waste. However, little is known about the adoption of these policies. Here, we raise the question how can circular policies be classified, and how can this...journal article 2023

Melnyk, A. (author), Cox, H.R.L. (author), Ghorbani, Amineh (author), Hoppe, T. (author)In the European Union, energy democracy (ED) is considered a socially desirable policy goal. One way to achieve ED is through empowering local communities to become agents of value change who can pursue more sustainable and equitable energy provision with community energy initiatives (CEI). However, such people-driven value change is complex in...journal article 2023

Hoppe, T. (author)De energiesector kent een lange historie waarin burgerinitiatieven een opvallende plaats hebben. Al in de jaren ‘70 ontstonden hieruit energiecoöperaties van burgers, en sinds 2010 maken zij een sterke ontwikkeling door. De actuele ontwikkelingen rond circulaire burgerinitiatieven staat relatief gezien nog in de kinderschoenen. In het vijfde en...book chapter 2022

Ogunleye, O.S. (author), Coenen, F. (author), Hoppe, T. (author)The need for improved energy security in Nigeria cannot be over-emphasized. Currently, energy security is rather poor, while access to energy is fundamental to socio-economic development and poverty alleviation. Renewable energy could potentially contribute to resolving this because renewable sources such as solar radiation are more available...journal article 2022

(author)In community energy systems, the energy demand of a group of households is met by collectively generated electricity and heat from renewable energy sources. What makes these systems unique is their collective and collaborative form of organization and their distributed energy generation. While these features are crucial to the resilience of...journal article 2022
