Abstract: In this paper, we focus on community energy projects and try to characterize their economic activity from the perspective of the ecological, economic and social transition. We combine the literature about community energy with the polanyian concepts of embeddedness, substantive and plural economy, in order to scrutinize five citizen-based projects producing renewable energy, based in the Occitany Region in France. The paper discusses the political and ecological embeddedness of their economic activity, and defines a logic of « reticular autarky ».
