Abstract:
Acting as prosumers can help the transition toward low carbon and circular economies. This paper discusses what can be defined as “prosumer behaviours” and proposes an innovative approach that fosters users in adopting daily virtuous experiences about energy production and consumption. Such experiences are based on smart interfaces as they emerge from complex socio-technical systems that combined ICT devices, smart grids and user-centred tools created to empower users and facilitate the emergence of a positive intelligence. The Prosumer Empowerment Concentric (PEC) Model is presented here as an integrative vision to support the emergence of prosumer behaviours and perspectives are outlined via an interregional project that proposes to experiment the PEC model in households and citizen energy cooperatives.
