Citizens’ cooperatives in Belgium

In Belgium, citizens are working together to produce renewable energy, especially solar and wind, to have more autonomy and to get green electricity at a fairer price. Those citizens’ cooperatives are socially committed enterprises and are locally anchored. In Belgium, the citizens’ cooperatives working to produce renewable energy are part of the REScoop Vlaanderen network. CoopStroom, Partago and CEDAN are three cooperatives that are part of the REScoop Vlaanderen network that propose shared electric cars to their shareholders. However, to promote electric cars, they are now opening up their electric car-sharing network to all citizens who have invested in renewable energy through their renewable energy cooperatives. Thanks to their membership of a citizen cooperative, any member can drive with any cooperative shared electric car available in Flanders.
