description Citizen energy cooperatives are significant local experiments in ecological transition in Europe. They allow us to understand how social alternatives can be embodied in concrete territorial projects and raise the question of the viability of these experiments, characterized by economic conditions, environmental justification and a renewed relationship to the individualization of energy systems. The issues of viability are therefore studied in their triple economic, ecological and systemic dimensions. Using the social transactions paradigm, we are able to understand the practical compromises that take place at the territorial level and relativize the so-called major divisions between industrial and centralized energy systems and citizen and decentralized systems. From an empirical point of view, this paper is based on the sociological study of photovoltaic and wind energy cooperatives conducted between 2019 and 2021 in the Upper Rhine region, between France, Germany and Switzerland.
