本研究的总体目标是调查农村地区的能源转型过程，特别注意能源合作社在这些过程中的作用。这项研究应主要揭示能源合作社是否以及在何种条件下为农村地区启动过渡进程提供有利的结构，并让相关利益攸关方参与。将特别注重能源过渡进程中的机构问题以及人们参与能源合作社的内部驱动力和动机。本研究的理论背景是过渡理论和过渡管理（TM）概念，我们通过借鉴实践理论和社会学习来补充，以解释行为变化。这项研究主要建立在一个实证的案例研究中，在北方巴伐利亚州（德国）的Rhon-Grabfeld区。通过支持和促进一个小型农村咨询机构，最近在那里成立了几个能源合作社。此外，案例研究的结果将得到补充，并与其他案例研究从丹麦和西班牙采取的文献进行比较。一个主要的研究问题是，能源合作社在多大程度上可被视为参与性参与过渡进程的良好做法范例，以及这在多大程度上对参与过渡的行为者的内在驱动力/动机产生影响，从而可能导致行为改变。
The overall aim of this study is to investigate energy transition processes in rural areas by paying particular attention to the role of energy cooperatives in these processes. The study should mainly uncover, if and under which conditions energy cooperatives provide favourable structures for initialising transition processes in rural areas and involving relevant stakeholders. A particular focus will be on the question of agency in energy transition processes and the internal drivers and motivations of the people to become involved in energy cooperatives. The theoretical background of the study is the transition theory and transition management (TM) concept, which we complement by drawing on Practice Theory and social learning in order to explain behavioural changes. The study mainly builds on an empirical case study in the Rhon-Grabfeld district in Northern Bavaria (Germany). Several energy cooperatives were formed there recently through the support and promotion a small rural consultancy. In addition, the results from the case study will be complemented by and compared with other case studies from Denmark and Spain taken from the literature. One of the main research question will be, to what extent energy cooperatives can be considered a good practice example for participatory involvement in transition processes and to what extent does this have an influence on the inner drivers/motivations of actors in this transition, possibly leading to behavioural changes.
