探索社区能源促进能源转型的长期潜力可以塑造今天的政策和实践。然而，在英国，许多社区能源研究目前，可以理解的是，集中在短期应对危机的部门引起的最近的政策支持的变化。因此，我们与社区能源从业者和其他利益相关者举办了一系列愿景和回顾研讨会，共同创造一个繁荣的社区能源部门的长期未来愿景。本文介绍了这些研讨会的结果。使用商业模式的概念来询问社区能源在未来如何构建，我们发现该行业可以从目前的可再生能源发电和能源效率的重点多样化，进入能源系统的新领域：需求方的灵活性，流动性和热量。我们也看到了社区能源联合会的潜力，以帮助弥合地方组织的优势与更大规模活动所提供的机会之间的差距。我们确定了政府在国家和地方层面采取行动的重要性，以实现这一愿景，并结合社区能源部门本身的努力。我们的研究强调了社区能源的机构和空间特征变化的必要性;该部门对能源转型技术方面的务实态度;以及其对社区能源在提供社会和环境共同利益方面的作用的关注，符合公正转型的概念。
Explorations of the longer-term potential for community energy to contribute to the energy transition can shape policy and practice today. However, much community energy research in Great Britain is currently, and understandably, focussed on short-term responses to the crisis in the sector induced by recent shifts in policy support. Therefore, we held a series of visioning and backcasting workshops with community energy practitioners and other stakeholders, to co-create a vision of a long term future where there is a thriving community energy sector.This paper presents the results of those workshops. Using the concept of business models to interrogate how community energy could be structured in the future, we find that the sector could diversify from its current focus on renewable electricity generation and energy efficiency, into new areas of the energy system: demand-side flexibility, mobility and heat. We also see potential for a Community Energy Confederation to help bridge the gap between the strengths of local organising, and the opportunities offered by larger scale activities. We identify the importance of actions by government – both at national and local levels – to realising this vision, in combination with the efforts of the community energy sector itself. Our research highlights the need for change in the institutional and spatial character of community energy; the sector’s pragmatic attitude to the technological aspects of the energy transition; and its focus on community energy’s role in delivering social and environmental co-benefits, in line with the concept of a just transition.
