Policy Recommendations: An analysis on collective and energy related decision- making processes of three formal social units

By conducting 67 semi-structured in-depth interviews and 15 focus group studies that have taken place in Austria, Bulgaria, Finland, Norway, Spain, and Turkey, the aim of this report is to provide comprehensive policy recommendations addressing the three levels of formal social units defined as stakeholders in the ECHOES project: Formal social units, collective decision-making units and individuals engaging in joint contracts. The primary policy recommendations are centered around three technological foci: Smart energy technologies, electric mobility and buildings based on the insights from the thorough analysis of the in-depth interviews and focus groups.
