About
Energent is a co-op headquartered in Gent, Belgium specializing in Solar, Wind, Biomass.
Energent is a cooperative association (cvba) that unites citizens in their pursuit of a sustainable and climate-neutral society. The organization invests member capital in renewable energy projects including solar panel installations, offshore wind turbines, sustainable heating solutions, and energy efficiency renovations. Members become cooperants upon purchasing shares (€100 each, maximum 3 between capital raises, up to 100 total per person). Each cooperant holds one vote at the general assembly regardless of share count. Energent operates on three pillars: direct investment in renewable energy projects, energy savings realization, and energy services provision. The cooperative collaborates with partners like CoopStroom for electric car sharing and Ecopower for green electricity supply. Annual dividends of 2.5-3% are typically distributed. The organization participates in research projects including the RenoCOOP European LIFE project on building renovation and is involved in multiple innovation initiatives shaping the energy transition.
