Join the Community-Energy Movement
To build a resilient energy future, we need to work together.
Europe’s Energy Transformation is Happening Now
The tools and framework for community energy already exist in many countries throughout Europe. Now, citizens must mobilize to make community-owned renewable power an even bigger reality. All it takes is our involvement and willingness to act for a cleaner, more equitable energy future.
Join an energy community. Invest in one. Or build your own.
It’s in Our Hands
From political activist to engineer, community organizer, financial supporter and so many more—the roles within the community-energy movement are endless. Here are a few you can take on to make the biggest impact.
Join an Energy Community
Becoming a member of your local energy community is an action that’s critical to the health of the European citizen-owned power movement. Within the EU there are already 1,500 established energy cooperatives, and the network is growing.

Invest in Community Energy
Becoming a member of an energy community is the best way to invest your money in a citizen-owned power future. But if you can’t join a cooperative, you can still financially support the movement.
Build Your Own Energy Community
REscoop.eu and Friends of the Earth have put together a handy little booklet that serves up plans and exact steps for starting your own community-energy project.
Or find your region to learn about establishing a new cooperative in your area.
