About

Energie Coöperatie Gaasterland is a co-op headquartered in Balk, Netherlands specializing in Solar, Energy Storage.

Energie Coöperatie Gaasterland is a member-owned cooperative that provides green electricity sourced from local renewable projects in the Gaasterland region of the Netherlands. The cooperative operates as a co-owner of Energie VanOns, a cooperative energy supplier that distributes electricity and gas to thousands of members across the Netherlands through 150+ regional cooperatives. Unlike commercial energy providers, ECG reinvests revenues from energy supply fees and profit-sharing directly into local sustainable initiatives rather than shareholder dividends. Key projects include solar parks at Lemsterhoek (Lemmer) and Koopmans (Harich), a district heating network (Eigen Warmte Balk) designed to eliminate natural gas dependency by 2030, and an electric carsharing service. The cooperative has received recognition from Greenpeace, Consumentenbond, and other independent organizations as providing the greenest electricity in the Netherlands.
