Une transition enfouie sous terre? L’énergie géothermique partagée en milieu urbain au Québec : le parcours de cinq projets entre émergence, motivations et contraintes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
La décentralisation énergétique et les infrastructures d’énergie renouvelable gérées par la communauté font l’objet d’un intérêt grandissant. Provenant largement d’Europe, la littérature nous révèle d’ailleurs la variété et l’étendue de ces projets ainsi que les défis que posent ces nouvelles configurations urbaines et leur intégration dans les grands systèmes en réseau. Au Québec, le contexte énergétique particulier et largement dominé par l’hydroélectricité laisse peu de place à l’innovation et aux recherches en sciences sociales en matière d’énergies renouvelables en milieu urbain. Sous la loupe de l’énergie géothermique partagée, cette recherche cherche à comprendre pourquoi et comment de tels projets émergent dans un système hydroélectrique monopolisé. Ce mémoire s’appuie sur le cadre de développement des communautés énergétiques, où les motivations, les facteurs d’action collective ainsi que les dynamiques sociotechniques sont tous identifiés comme pouvant à la fois faire émerger des projets, mais aussi façonner leurs évolution et finalité. À travers treize entretiens semi-dirigés réalisés avec des initiateur.trice.s et facilitateur.trice.s provenant de cinq initiatives différentes à Montréal et à Québec, les cas révélés varient entre des initiatives citoyennes de transition ainsi que des projets d’habitations coopératives et communautaires. Ces infrastructures partagées s’insèrent dans la ville comme étant des projets pilotes ou « phares » basés d’abord sur de fortes valeurs écologiques offrant une plus-value économique et sociale, lorsque développées collectivement. Ces initiatives, dont la définition de « partagé » diffère, demandent également un certain arrimage dans un système sociotechnique qui n’est pas encore mûr. \n \nThere is growing interest in decentralized energy projects and community-managed renewable energy infrastructure. Coming largely from Europe, the literature also reveals the variety and extent of these projects as well as the challenges posed by these new urban configurations and their integration into large technical systems. In Quebec, the energy context largely dominated by hydroelectricity leaves little room for innovation and social science research in the field of renewable energies in urban areas. Under the magnifying glass of shared geothermal energy, this research seeks to understand why and how such projects emerge in a monopolized hydroelectric system. This thesis is based on the development framework of energy communities, where the motivations, the factors of collective action as well as the socio-technical dynamics are all identified as being able to both bring out projects, but also shape their evolution and purpose. Through thirteen semi-directed interviews carried out with initiators and facilitators from five different initiatives in Montreal and Quebec, the cases revealed vary between transitional citizen initiatives as well as cooperative and community housing projects. These shared infrastructures fit into the city as pilot projects based primarily on strong ecological values offering economic and social added value, when developed collectively. These initiatives, whose definition of “shared” differs, also require a certain attachment in a socio-technical system that is not yet mature.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
