Starting an energy community

You want to pursue a common goal together with others in partnership and solidarity? You want to use the cooperative form of enterprise because it combines civic responsibility, participation and economic action well? To do this, you need the knowledge to be able to use the functioning, structure and democratic principles of a cooperative.

As an initiator or founding team, you need an overview of the steps involved in preparing the founding of a cooperative, the requirements for the articles of association and a business plan, how to plan the founding meeting and how your members can help shape the cooperative’s management.

You can learn all this compactly and at your own pace from home in the online self-study course “Founding Cooperatives” by the German citizen energy federation Energiewende Jetzt.
