The Aran Islands Energy Co-operative is a community-owned energy cooperative on the Aran Islands at the mouth of Galway Bay. Through the cooperative, the residents of the three islands aim to become self-sufficient in clean, locally owned energy and to build the local economy of the islands using the benefits that accrue from this. The main activities are related to energy efficiency and retrofitting of houses, renewable energy generation, electrification of mobility, and participation in research projects.
