Support for energy cooperatives and renewable energy communities

Energy co­oper­at­ives are one of the most prom­ising forms of social eco­nomy in Poland – and one of the most com­plex when it comes to set­tle­ments. We guide energy cooperatives and renewable energy communities through it step by step.

More and more mu­ni­cip­al­it­ies, farm­ers and local com­munit­ies are con­sid­er­ing set­ting up their own energy co­oper­at­ive, but the form­al­it­ies and energy set­tle­ment rules can be dis­cour­aging right from the start. With our experience, you can get through this process smoothly and without costly mistakes.

Who it is for

• ✓Groups of res­id­ents, mu­ni­cip­al­it­ies or en­tre­pren­eurs plan­ning to set up an energy co­oper­at­ive
• ✓Ex­ist­ing energy co­oper­at­ives and renewable energy communities that need help with set­tle­ments
• ✓People con­sid­er­ing join­ing an energy co­oper­at­ive that is already op­er­at­ing

What our support involves

• ✓Advice on set­ting up an energy co­oper­at­ive – ex­plain­ing the formal re­quire­ments, mem­ber­ship struc­ture and legal basis
• ✓In­form­a­tion on energy set­tle­ments in a co­oper­at­ive – ex­plain­ing the rules for bal­an­cing energy between mem­bers, in­clud­ing the stat­utory 1:0.6 ratio
• ✓Con­sulta­tions on join­ing a co­oper­at­ive – for people won­der­ing whether and how to join an ex­ist­ing energy co­oper­at­ive
• ✓Ac­count­ing ser­vices for energy co­oper­at­ives op­er­at­ing in the Pod­laskie Voivode­ship and beyond
