A View of Energy Cooperatives from the Framework of Energy Justice

Abstract

Energy justice offers a conceptual framework against the problems created by the traditional energy system. Considering that the traditional energy system is the basis of many injustices, it seems inevitable to establish a new energy production approach. In this context, first of all, the principles of procedurral, distributional and recognition of energy justice were examined. In the context of these three principles, examples of energy cooperatives were examined in terms of their applicability to the energy system and it was discussed whether energy cooperatives are a concrete model that can realize energy justice.
