Beyond its manifest forms, energy citizenship (ENCI) also comprises various latent forms: it is an ideal that can be lived up to and realised to varying degrees, according to different framework conditions and states of empowerment (Pel et al., 2021, p. 4)

Two key dimensions of ENCI derived from the conceptual framework: the agency (where and how) and the outcome-orientation (to what end).
