About

Founded in 2021, Enercipa is a co-op headquartered in Avignon, France specializing in Solar.

Enercipa is a Société Coopérative d'Intérêt Collectif (SCIC) established in May 2021 to implement citizen-owned renewable energy projects. Originally founded as an association in April 2019, it operates collective self-consumption photovoltaic installations across Avignon and surrounding areas. The cooperative generates electricity on rooftops and parking structures, injects power into the public grid under 20-year guaranteed purchase agreements, and reinvests surplus revenues into new projects and member returns. Citizens become co-owners by purchasing €50 shares (minimum 10 shares to finance one solar panel). The cooperative emphasizes community engagement, volunteer participation, and democratic decision-making through annual general assemblies.
