This dissertation uncovers the role of community energy actors as policy entrepreneurs. Despite being newcomers with limited resources, these actors successfully advocated for change within EU and German political landscapes. By empirically comparing and contrasting the EU's Clean Energy Package and Germany's renewable energy policy reforms between 2012 and 2019, this study explores how community energy actors and the concept of community energy have been institutionalized in different ways. This book contributes to a more nuanced understanding of the potential and limitations of political agency, discourse, and power in promoting sustainability transformations by examining the emergence of community energy actors and its connection to policy shifts. About the Author Boris Gotchev is a professional with over a decade of experience in the fields of sustainability science, policy and industry. He is currently working as an expert in climate and energy policy, specialising in the renewable energy sector.PPN: PPN: 1921824395Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-SEB | ZDB-2-SZR | ZDB-2-SNO
