This PhD thesis presents the first comprehensive analysis of energy cooperatives in Switzerland—the production of renewable energy organized on a cooperative basis. Drawing on approaches of interactive and multi-level governance, the conditions are examined under which energy cooperatives operate and contribute to the Swiss energy transition. The results of a survey and of four case studies portray these energy cooperatives not as isolated actors but as deeply embedded in local governance structures. While their development is found to be contingent upon support by municipalities, energy cooperatives also appear as suitable partners for municipalities to implement local energy policy. Building on these insights, the thesis elaborates an arg...
