This data set contains the results of the Citizen Survey on Energy Communities conducted as part of the NEWCOMERS (New clean energy communities in a changing European energy system) project funded through the European Unions Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme. The survey addresses preferences, attitudes, and perceptions of European citizens with respect to the transition towards a renewable energy system and particular to the role of new forms of energy communities. Further, it aims at providing additional insights into the drivers and barriers for their diffusion across Europe and discusses the citizens willingness to accept or decline demand response mechanisms. A rich set of socio-economic, cognitive, and psychological characteristics of the respondents is available.
