At Prokon, we have been committed to shaping a sustainable energy future for almost 30 years. With around 40,000 members, we are the largest energy cooperative in Germany.
Green electricity, project development, operation of renewable energy facilities: as citizens, we are making a real contribution to the success of the energy transition. But what exactly is a citizens' energy cooperative?
A citizen energy cooperative is a legally and economically independent community of citizens who have joined together to collectively implement projects for the generation and use of renewable energies. Cooperatives contribute to the energy transition by promoting local and environmentally friendly energy projects and putting energy supply in the hands of citizens.
Legal form
Energy cooperatives are typically organized as registered cooperatives (eG). This legal form ensures that the cooperative is democratically managed and that each member, regardless of the amount of their investment, has a voice.
Goals
Comprehensive expansion of Renewable Energies such as biogas, solar, and wind energy including storage technologies
Contribution to local value creation and job creation in the region.
Increasing independence from fossil energy sources and large energy providers.
Promotion of climate protection and reduction of CO2 emissions.
Membership
Any citizen can become a member by acquiring shares in the cooperative.
Members have participation rights and can contribute to decisions of the cooperative, usually at an annual general meeting.
Financing
The projects are financed through the investments of the members, and through revenues from project development and services for wind farm operators as well as the sale of generated green electricity and biogas.
Securing the energy supply
Become part of the energy transition and help us reduce dependence on fossil fuels and expand renewable energy sources.
