Abstract
AbstractGender has long been a central topic for discussion in relation to energy provision and energy access, but it becomes particularly prominent when considering community energy and transitions to sustainable energy. Gender relations continue to shape infrastructure networks. There is a gender gap in the energy transition both in terms of women and gender non-conforming people being able to access the green labour market, and in terms of understanding how gender relations are at the root of energy injustices. This chapter engages with feminist theory and asks what does an intersectional perspective mean for community energy. In particular, the chapter argues that an intersectional perspective enables a radical rethinking of the technological, political, social, and institutional dimensions of the energy transition.
