Community Energy in France
With its windy coasts and frequent sunshine, France has great renewable-energy potential and a growing community-energy movement.
It Could Be So Easy
The tools and framework for community energy already exist in France. Now, its citizens have the power to make community-owned renewable energy an even bigger reality. All it takes is our involvement and willingness to act for a cleaner, more equitable energy system.
Join an energy community. Invest in one. Or build your own.

Together, we can restore power to the people and bring the benefits of clean energy home.
Join an Energy Community
Community-energy projects in France are already widespread and successful, with Enercoop and Énergie Partagée leading the way. And there’s potential for many more.
Énergie Partagée includes more than 300 community-energy projects, and they’ve had over 18,000 citizens invest.
Enercoop has 54,000 members within its 11 cooperatives around France. They’re also an energy provider, and they source clean, renewable power from Énergie Partagée’s cooperatives.
Switching your power provider to one that sources from a community-owned energy project is an easy way to get involved. But becoming a member of your local energy community will make the biggest impact.
