Who has the power? Reflections on citizen engagement in district heating schemes in the UK and Sweden

Richard Bull and Will Eadson

Energy Policy, 2023, vol. 177, issue C

Abstract: District heating (DH) schemes linked to Energy from Waste (EfW) and Biomass facilities have been championed for their potential to decarbonise heating yet their role in energy policy is contested. These schemes are a unique intersection between two vital environmental policy agendas - waste and energy - and can offer opportunities for citizens to affect both environmental agendas and future energy infrastructures.
