Description	This dataset describes the collective involvement of citizens in the energy transition with a focus on 2010-2021 across 29 countries in Europe. It is the first systematic data collection of its kind. Data are collected for the initiatives citizens are leading, fields of activities they engage in (e.g., installation of renewable capacities, operation of charging infrastructure for electric vehicles, engagement in energy education and services provision), number of people involved or being members, financial data of initiatives, and characteristics of production units planned, installed, operated and/or purchased by the initiatives.

Universe	29 European countries
Time Method	2000-2022, occasionally historic initiatives
Data Collector	Western Norway University of Applied Sciences, Research group: Data-driven energy system analysis
Collector Training	Training on harmonization and validation of data
Frequency	Yearly
Sampling Procedure	Snowballing assessing, statistical websites, offices, reports, initiative websites
Target Sample Size	20000 extrapolation from case studies
Major Deviations for Sample Design	more registered evidence than expected
Collection Mode	Web search, interviews, e-mail, snowballing
Type of Research Instrument	Semi-structured
Characteristics of Data Collection Situation	Data are collected in different countries which differ in legal context. Many countries are now in the transition of implementing the EU directives for energy communities which is why it can be expected that the number of initiatives and scope will increase even further in the future.
Actions to Minimize Losses	Extensive documentation [including comments, application of four eyes principle, linking to existing standards and ontologies where possible, e.g. schema.org, w3data]
Control Operations	Four eyes principle, execution of validation protocalls
Cleaning Operations	Consistency checking (by humans and software tests)
Estimates of Sampling Error	Data collection and data uncertainty differs across countries, refer to the documentation for further information.
