9 B. Frameworks technology and GESI pathways Energy/electricity access and use is valuable not in itself, but for what it enables women and men to do or achieve (Moss and McGann 2011, drawing from A. Sen and M. Nessbaum) The history of past energy transitions highlights the critical importance of end-use consumers and demand and indicate that technology and the social settings co-evolve, depending on each other (Grubler 2012) Renewable energy technologies as disruptive technologies can transform how energy is produced, distributed and consumed. Distributed systems, such as mini-grids, can potentially provide solutions for inclusive energy access. (Study focus) Energy services can improve women s economic empowerment (Study focus)

10 Current changes in energy and power systems the distributed production of renewables, an increasing need for flexibility of operations, and energy storage and transmission, affect consumers in one way or another. Changes often require the active participation and support of consumers, who may become prosumers. All the new systems and technologies developed by electrical engineers may influence consumer behavior and trigger positive or negative responses. Hence, it is important for electrical engineers to understand how their work may affect consumers... This issue encourages a conversation among electrical engineers and social scientists and facilitates the integration of their different expertise.

29 Power to the people? Consumers as energy citizens aside from turning formerly passive energy consumers into more active and informed ones, empowering consumers can also help to make them act as energy citizens. Why is this distinction important? Because whether you look at people as consumers or as citizens matters: conceptually, when trying to understand energyrelated choices and behavior, practically, when designing policies to address people s concerns, and of course politically, when peo-ple get involved and become active participants in energy-related policy making themselves.
