Solarity Renewable Energy Community was established in July 2023 as a cooperative, aiming to collectively produce and consume clean energy and implement green solutions in everyday life.

The main objectives of Solarity are:

  • Reducing energy costs for its members through collective self consumption projects
  • Application of the cooperative principles in the energy sector
  • Social economy and solidarity
  • Research, experimentation, training seminars, and dissemination of know-how for innovative green solutions
  • Participative design for a just energy transition
  • Promote electromobility, shared EV’s and charging stations
  • Do business with a social dimension
  • Achieve equality of membership – elimination of discrimination of any kind
  • Support innovation in the energy sector through training workshops and seminars
  • Cooperation with academic institutions, local authorities, and other energy cooperatives

In 2023, the cooperative completed a full economic and technical study for the creation of a photovoltaic park (400 kWp) that will operate with the “Virtual Net Metering” model. Construction having started in July 2024, our solar park is expected to be ready for energy production by the end of 2024.

Solarity Renewable Energy Community is the first energy community with open membership established in Athens, following the provision of the Greek Law 5037/2023.

Citizens, legal entities and municipalities based in the Attica region can become members of the cooperative.

The management of the cooperative is carried out by the General Assembly and the Board of Directors. The General Assembly is the highest decision body of the organisation and each member has one vote.
