The lead section does a good job at describing what the 2000-watt society is, but it doesn't really give an overview of the sections afterward. Maybe in the lead if it had the later sections explained it would help readers to understand what every section is without having to go to it. Another problem in the article is that some basic things aren't being described like the 2000 watts. What is it being compared to? Hours? Days? This article does have very relevant and up to date information dating back to the last 20 years with some brief history explaining how it changed through the years. The sources used are up to date and they only use factual information. The article as a whole is unbiased to one side. The article is mostly well written. This topic is very complicated, so in some section a little bit more description could help someone not be confused. The article is well organized but I think the examples that are used like the 'Basel pilot region' and the 'Fribourg smart living building' could be grouped together. For example, they could be group in to a topic like "Steps being taken for the 2000-watt society".

In the talk-page it discusses confusion of the topic like the units of energy used and other forms of confusion with the topic. Also, some of the links were modified because other viewers were having issues accessing them. I think the article as a whole is off to a good start. I think it is a little underdeveloped. It could have more relevant information added to the topic as the amount of information and importance is increasing throughout the world. The strengths of the article are the examples and steps being taken. The weakness is the format of the article and the description of things in the article like the power units.
