“…Although prior research has examined ways to facilitate a technical understanding of P2P energy trading and multifaceted stakeholder relationships [42,47], our analysis demonstrates the ways that participants valued the social dimensions of P2P energy trading, and saw opportunities to cultivate social and collective resources through platform use. Platforms can acknowledge the value of enhanced intragroup relationships by enabling users to externalize values and organize around shared group memberships.…”

“…They demonstrated user demand for local energy, but concerns about sharing location data. Similarly, Pschetz, Pothong, and Speed [47] examined user interests and values: they demonstrated prominent user concerns for autonomy, control and economic equality. However, both papers focused on specific operating models and designs.…”

“…(2) recommended by the Government vs non-governmental advisory group vs other users; and (3) unregulated vs regulated by a national energy supplier. We created these designs by drawing on existing research examining P2P energy trading that emphasizes issues of location, trust and governance in these markets [42,47,10]. Thus, rather than looking to examine systematic differences in participants' responses to the different designs, we sought to draw out broader principles about location, trust and governance.…”

Peer-to-peer energy-trading platforms (P2P) have the potential to transform the current energy system. However, research is presently scarce on how people would like to participate in, and what would they expect to gain from, such platforms. We address this gap by exploring these questions in the context of the UK energy market. Using a qualitative interview study, we examine how 45 people with an interest in renewable energy understand P2P. We find that the prospective users value the collective benefits of P2P, and understand participation as a mechanism to support social, ecological and economic benefits for communities and larger groups. Drawing on the findings from the interview analysis, we explore broad design characteristics that a prospective P2P energy trading platform should provide to meet the expectations and concerns voiced by our study participants.

“…These methods focus thinking on specific aspects and attributes of DLTs and enable participation around high-level thinking, without overloading people with technological concepts. The material qualities of trading coffee [16] and energy [15] supported by DLT have been explored through consumer artefacts, and GeoCoin provides a personal, real-world experience of location-based smart contracts supported by a mobile application [13]. Whilst the smart contracts in GeoCoin were simple, this work demonstrated the importance of roleplay in engaging with smart contracts, and avocated the need for open-ended experiences.…”

This paper presents GeoPact, an assembly of technological objects that materialises location-aware smart contracts using internet of things and digital ledger technologies. Such contracts may facilitate the creation of distributed systems and services for transport and logistics that are locally constructed and adaptable, thus supporting specific community needs and sustainable objectives. However the technological infrastructures that underpin these systems are complex, making it difficult to engage publics in design processes. GeoPact grounds infrastructure in relatable physical activities, that are linked with holistic views of the system, and creates new experiences for public engagement. In these activities participants were invited to roleplay as couriers, and to progress through delivery scenarios which were governed by smart contracts. Participants and spectators were then encouraged to discuss their reactions, concerns and ideas. This paper illustrates the GeoPact assembly and reflects on our engagement activities.

“…However, the quality, effectiveness and value resulting from each model remains contested [28,60]. There is a vast literature that explores digital methods to engage the public in democratic decision-making processes, such as digital juries [25,14,61], deliberation approaches [62], or edemocracy [13,12,29]. These engagement methods examine specific aspects of decision-making processes (e.g.…”

Community engagements are qualitative processes that make use of participants local knowledge for democratic decisionmaking, but often exclude participants from data analysis and dissemination. This can mean that they are left feeling that their voice is not properly represented in the final output. This paper presents a digital community engagement process, Talk-Futures, that actively involves participants in the production, distributed analysis and summarization of qualitative data. The design of TalkFutures was explored through a five-week deployment with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) as part of a consultation designed to inform future strategy. Our analysis of deployment metrics and post-deployment interviews outline how TalkFutures: (i) increased modes of participation across the qualitative workflow; (ii) reduced barriers to participation; and (iii) improved representation in the engagement processes.
