There remain barriers to the growth of “Citizen Energy” in Lithuania. Research limitations/implications It is, to an extent context-specific with limitations for generalizability Practical implications Findings may be of use to the Lithuanian academic community and policy makers interested in energy policy Originality/Value Energy entrepreneurship is a timely theme in view of concerns about climate change and energy security Keywords: “citizen energy”, “crowdsourcing”, “entrepreneurship” “energy transition” Research type: research paper Introduction Growing pressures to transform the energy industry have emerged in response to concerns about climate change and energy security. In Germany, this transformation has involved greater decentralized production of renewable energy at a local level, thus creating opportunities for “citizen energy”. “Citizen Energy entails SMEs and private individuals generating renewable power and feeding this back to the electricity grid, earning revenue in the process. This growth of “citizen energy” is a fundamental social change, as it has stimulated processes of environmental entrepreneurship (Hall, Daneke, & Lenox, 2010; Isaak, 2010; Schaltegger, 2002), with the innovatory and employment advantages that this force can bring in addition to giving the public greater ownership over energy provision which is important given the social importance of energy. This 6 ‘‘Social Transformations in Contemporary Society’’, 2015 (3) ISSN 2345-0126 (online) paper explores the extent to which the energy transition in Germany can be seen as a social transformation whilst making limited comment on the Lithuanian context. The Energy Transition Policy and Outcomes for Citizen Energy Whilst Germany is committed to the goals of the EU’s Climate and Energy Package (2020), stipulating member states to renewable energy and energy efficiency targets (European Commission 2015), its national Energy Transition Policy can be seen as something of a model, in terms of promoting decentralized energy generation. The Renewable Energy Law was introduced
