  abstract = {{C}arbon emission reduction happens through place-specific sociocultural processes that span organizational and household levels. {T}his chapter shows how these sociocultural characteristics are expressed in four manifestations of an idea: pro-poor community solar energy. {I}n the late 2010s, the {N}ew {Y}ork {S}tate {E}nergy {R}esearch and {D}evelopment {A}uthority piloted the {S}olar for {A}ll scheme, lowering low-income households' electricity bills through community-scale solar plants installed on public buildings and using virtual net metering to integrate low solar tariffs into utility bills. {T}his success led to a state-wide scale up and inspired {E}urosolar4{A}ll, a {E}uropean project that adapted and implemented similar schemes at sites in {S}pain, {I}taly, {F}rance and {P}ortugal. {W}e traced this policy mobility between 2021 and 2023, during the first phase of adaptation and implementation of pro-poor community solar energy projects in four {E}uropean contexts. {T}hese vary from large cities ({B}arcelona and {R}ome) to a smaller municipality ({A}lmada) and a peri-urban federation of small municipalities ({C}oeur de {S}avoie). {W}e show how the sociocultural constitution of carbon emission reduction is expressed in the first policy mobility of adapting a scheme from the {U}nited {S}tates to {E}uropean countries and in the second policy mobility of its implementation at local and regional levels by institutional intermediaries engaging diverse targeted households.},
