Energia Positiva, a cooperative start-up, was founded in 2015 in Nichelino, Turin, Piedmont, and is committed to innovation and evolution of energy sharing. The collective aims to offer the greatest number of people an alternative way of participating in the energy system as producers and consumers of renewable energy. Through an IT platform, shareholders can purchase shares in the plants (photovoltaic, wind and hydroelectric) the cooperative owns across Italy and create their own “virtual plant”, of which the economic returns will reduce the cost of the shareholder’s own energy bill, managed by the cooperative itself.
