This association of energy cooperatives is designed to promote citizen participation in energy transition. Emphasis is put on co-owning, voting rights (democratic aspect) and the values (participation, initiative, self-help, self-responsibility and self-management) conveyed by the cooperatives. It is engaged in advancing citizen participation in the energy transition by looking for future options (energy share, hydrogen, coupling, etc.). Political engagement is also a core value of the network, and the alliance makes claims for real “green power” energy, i.e. a sustainable, ecological and citizen-supported energy supply.
