Abstract: The energy transition is one of today’s major challenges. A central issue in the energy transition is the use of space (land, buildings, oceans, etc.) for the deployment of renewable energies. However, this issue is often only dealt with on a large scale and quantitatively, and not qualitatively and grounded in the urban and territorial reality. Energy policies do not always take into account places and their creation, where society is at the centre. The informal construction of places, based on bottom-up actions from communities, has a key role to play in order to make this transition in a fair and environmentally responsible way. This research focuses on reviewing trends in informal place-making and energy transition. In particular, it looks at community-based energy generation initiatives that seek social justice. These are the social alternative of energy transition with co-responsibility of the territory where they are inscribed.
