Co-ops in:
Energy
Energy Co-ops are self organising and set their own agenda based on local energy priorities.
They raise capital from their members and invest in their own local energy projects. They organise their own buying groups, contracting with local vendors to bring them the energy resources that they need. There are over 200 energy co-ops in the UK – the first UK renewable energy co-op was founded by Baywind in 2002 who now have 16,880 individual members.
