Summary "This book explores concepts of energy democracy, prosumers and sustainable energy through the lens of past, ongoing and future energy transitions in the Gambian community of Kartong. Reframing Energy Access argues that adaptation of existing models of decentralised renewable energy in isolated communities must be rooted in understanding of local energy practice. It examines economic, gender, spatial and seasonal dimensions in Kartong, as well as in comparative communities, and draws important lessons for those involved in the delivery of access to modern energy services. Overall, Schiffer provides a uniquely long-term and multi-dimensional perspective of the interface between top-down decisions including infrastructure development and changing practice on the ground. This book translates human insight of changing energy practice into advice for policy makers, researchers and practitioners who work in the fields of energy access, energy policy, renewable energy transitions, African development and sustainable development in general"-- Provided by publisher
