The practice of Self-Organization and Energy Transition
- 1. THE PRACTICE OF SELF- ORGANIZATION M.H. Hasanov Wednesday, August 5, 2015
- 3. SELF-ORGANIZATION IS…. a result of spontaneous/unexplained interactions between the components of a “disordered” system which result in an order • Uncontrollable? • Improvisation? • Jugaad
- 4. SELF-ORGANIZATION self-organisation is a process by which the social relationships that characterise relatively loose networks are institutionalized through the definition of mutual interests, positions and relations
- 5. SELF-WHAT? Things exist/happen because humans define them, not just because they exist Human actions that have rational, moral and intentional dimensions nested in a certain context. Individuals directly effect social change and transition through their own activities adapting to the conditions, making use of and creating opportunities, innovations, etc. ‘small scale’ processes that implies greater

- 12. ‘RESIDENT’S INITIATIVE’ TUINWIJK IN HET ZONNETJE Project for and by the whole Tuinwijk / Anyone can participate. Good not only for the environment, but also for the wallet Potential profits will flow back to the residents and the neighborhood. Set up in simple, transparent and fair manner. It is obvious how it works, what is costs and what will eventually save each participant.

- 15. PRELIMINARY CONCLUSIONS •The will to change is collective and not imposed externally •Action-based instead of behavioral-change oriented •Authorities accommodate change easily if change is addressed collectively •Increasing role of semi-public organizations (housing associations), however responsibility falls to the “citizens”
- 16. QUESTIONS REMAIN… What do we mean by self-organizing? What do we mean by energy transition? What changes after self-organizing is there? Who benefits and who loses from self- organizing/energy-transition? Who self-organizes and why?

- This is the picture for the three Northern Provinces You can be mainstream and just sell what you prodice of your rooftop to an energy supplier of your choice or you can follow the path bellow: Little people setup coops and initiatives, but they cannot sell the energy to others so they need to sell it to certified buyers. Only a Energy Supplier can provide you electricity Each province has set up its own local level cooperatives which is registered merchant of energy (but can only buy energy from coops) if you wish you can sell your energy to them, but they still cannot sell you back NLD is registered energy suppliers (electricity & gas) that sells local energy to people who want to buy cheap community energy. So you can decide that your energy supplier is NLD and buy the energy that you produce via the official channels.
- However, that is the picvture what you see commonly when someone talks about the NL transition to local energy. The picture at the grasroots is a bit more different.
- From energy label A to Better. A Dutch word-play A new built area with A level housing, private owners, solar panel infiltration is high, but individual and not colelctive They want to be the most sustainable area of the city They want to do it collectively At begining stage: trying to sort out how to do it. The main question that drives them is “What is in for me?”
- Attended first meeting where they sort out seven problem areas for the theme of sustainability and will go for it. - How they did it: with post its, which were later digitalised by the initators First official meeting of the people who want to do soemthing with the theme of sustainability They want to do the first step, ivite ppl for collective solar panel bid by early autumn
- Originali idea of two neighborus that eventually went big due to networking Solar amabasadors – people who spreadign the word and talking abut it Three ismple rules: it is good for my pocket, good for my neighurhood and it is understandable Eventually the housing coroprations active in the area jumped on board and ease the work (overlap of agendas)
- The new vocabulary of enegry transition Renrewable enrgy is not just a technical element, it starts to be mebeded in the life of people and isnitutions You need specific skills and mix of people to setup and maintian such initaitve Energy means more than megawast - financial,green, social…
- Extended skills and pracices for self-orgaized initatives….
