UrStrom (UrPower) Citizen energy Cooperative UrStrom BürgerEnergieGenossenschaft

In order to actively shape the energy future, citizens from Mainz and Rheinhessen joined forces in 2010 to form the UrStrom BürgerEnergieGenossenschaft Mainz eG – under the motto “Citizens make energy!” They build and operate photovoltaic systems in their region, producing clean solar power. In the Bürgerwerke eG network, they offer private and commercial customers nationwide 100% green electricity and BürgerÖkoGas from Germany. In addition, they operate car sharing with electric cars at several stations in Mainz, Budenheim and TH Bingen. As a community with over 430 members, they inform the public about the opportunities for citizen energy and lobby politicians.
