REScoop.eu
REScoop.eu is the European federation of renewable energy cooperatives,[1] founded in 2011.
As of April 2016[update] it has 20 member organisations (either individual REScoops or regional REScoop federations) in 11 European Member States, representing 1,240 individual REScoops and their 300,000 citizens.[2]
Its routine administration is handled by the Belgian cooperative Ecopower.[3]
On December 24, 2013, the European federation of groups and cooperatives of citizens for renewable energy (REScoop.EU) was legally established under Belgian national law with a European scope. This legal act is a key issue to further develop the activities of the European federation and it constitutes the base to build a strong European renewable energy cooperative alliance.[4]
REScoop is a short term for Renewable Energy Source Cooperative.[5]
