      abstract     = {Active participation of citizens in the sustainable energy
                      transition—particularly in energycommunities—is
                      explicitly desired by the European Union and considered
                      vital for a successfultransformation of Europe’s energy
                      system. Currently, energy communities, i.e., citizen-led
                      groupsgenerating energy from renewable sources can be found
                      across Europe, though current numbers aresmall. However, it
                      is expected that the majority of EU households will be
                      active in some form in thegeneration of energy by 2050. In
                      order to understand how such a development could come about,
                      andif desired, how it could be ensured, we developed and
                      applied a quasi-dynamic model using the Cross-Impact Balance
                      (CIB) approach and with it analyzed and assessed such a
                      transition in detail. Data forthe CIB model was derived from
                      case studies, interviews, three surveys including two
                      discrete choiceexperiments, expert workshops, and
                      complementary secondary data. A central consideration of
                      themodel is a differentiated representation of the
                      heterogeneity of actors in society and their
                      interactions.Main results obtained from the application of
                      the model are possible transformation pathways ofcitizen
                      participation in the energy transition of Germany. A key
                      finding was that if current trendscontinue, a citizen-driven
                      energy transition based on energy communities will unlikely
                      be successful.We conclude that several framework conditions
                      must change simultaneously from the status quo sothat
                      different social groups in society can be active in the
                      generation of energy. These include changessuch as the
                      abolition of hindering regulations and the expansion of
                      financial support schemes witha focus on lower socioeconomic
                      groups. Furthermore, only in a combination of conducive
                      socialfactors such as neighborhood cohesion and conducive
                      social influence, as well as favorable economicconditions,
                      can energy communities become an important player in
                      Germany’s future energy system.},
