Technical Energy Boards
The Technical Energy Boards are institutions situated within each Community Council. They were created for the management of infrastructure and electricity supply in the populations in need of such services. It is a mechanism in the guidelines of the First Socialist Plan of the Nation "Simón Bolívar" 2007-2013. Its functions include: conducting participatory diagnostics of electricity services in the community, providing technical support, collaborating in the implementation and improvement of the electricity distribution and public lighting distribution system, promoting community technical training, and organizing the provision of service with other state agencies involved.
Institutional design
Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?
Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
