Aamina Teladia

Aamina Teladia is an external researcher at the University of Groningen's Faculty of Science and Engineering, affiliated with the Integrated Research on Energy, Environment and Society (IREES) institute. Her work centers on community energy initiatives within the Dutch context, examining intersections of policy frameworks, business models, and citizen engagement in accelerating equitable energy transitions.

Her research spans energy transition governance, community energy business models, citizen participation mechanisms, heating transition challenges, and energy justice frameworks. She investigates how localized energy initiatives can bridge policy gaps and promote financial inclusion, with particular emphasis on Dutch community-led projects navigating ownership structures and participatory democracy in energy systems.

Analysis of her 2022-2025 publications reveals consistent focus on multi-level governance approaches, where she develops analytical frameworks connecting policy instruments to community outcomes. Her work demonstrates evolving methodologies from foundational participation models (2022) to integrated policy-business model configurations (2025), consistently highlighting citizen-centric solutions for heating transition barriers and energy justice gaps in the Netherlands.

Teladia operates within the IREES research ecosystem at the University of Groningen, collaborating extensively with H. van der Windt and contributing to open datasets that enable reproducible analysis of community energy dynamics. Her research network emphasizes interdisciplinary connections between social sciences, energy engineering, and policy implementation.
