Barnimer Energiewandel eG

About

Barnimer Energiewandel eG is a co-op headquartered in Eberswalde, Germany specializing in Solar.

Barnimer Energiewandel eG is a cooperative energy society focused on accelerating the local energy transition in the Barnim and Oberhavel regions through citizen participation. The cooperative develops, owns, and operates solar photovoltaic systems on residential and commercial rooftops, as well as balcony power stations. Members contribute with shares of €250 each and participate in governance through the annual general assembly. Business models include roof rentals where the cooperative installs and operates PV systems and sells generated electricity to the property owner, purchase options where customers can own systems outright, and membership-based financing models. The cooperative has completed projects including a 68 kWp green-roof integrated solar installation at Wandlitz gymnasium sports hall (generating 66% self-consumption for the school, covering 36% of annual electricity demand) and a 29.82 kWp roof-lease project in Strasburg.
