Household energy resilience in crisis and sustainable transition
The research project ‘Household energy resilience in crisis and sustainable transition’ is funded by the Swedish Energy Agency and is a collaboration between RISE (project owner), Mid Sweden University and Chalmers University of Technology.
Household energy resilience has been brought to the fore by uncertainties in Sweden and abroad, high electricity
prices and an increased risk of power shortages. Climate change-related disturbances are also increasingly affecting
households. The three fields crisis preparedness, climate change adaptation and sustainable energy transition all link
to households' energy resilience and support households through initiatives such as courses, campaigns and advice.
But collaboration between the fields is limited and there is a risk of conflicts between them. For example,
preparedness is often associated with ownership of material resources, which makes a sustainable transition more
difficult. The project takes a holistic approach to households' energy resilience and identifies synergies and conflicts
in various initiatives aimed at households. With design methods, we investigate, and develop concepts for, how
initiatives can be designed to strengthen households' overall energy resilience.
