Cooperative Energy

Cooperative energy refers to power generation and supply operated collectively by members who are also consumers. Instead of a traditional utility owned by shareholders, a cooperative energy organization is owned and managed by its members, such as local residents or businesses. These members share in decision-making and profits, often focusing on sustainable and affordable energy. Cooperative energy emphasizes community control, local investment, and environmentally friendly practices, providing a sense of ownership and direct benefit to members. It fosters collaboration to meet energy needs efficiently while prioritizing social, economic, and environmental goals.
