Energiecoöperatie Pijnacker-Nootdorp

About

Founded in 2017, Energiecoöperatie Pijnacker-Nootdorp is a co-op headquartered in Pijnacker-Nootdorp, Netherlands specializing in Solar.

Energiecoöperatie Pijnacker-Nootdorp is a cooperative established by citizens and businesses to generate local sustainable energy through solar installations. Members invest in energy shares from solar projects on rooftops of businesses and institutions within the municipality. The cooperative operates under Dutch government regulations including the Postcoderoosregeling (postal code rose regulation) until April 2021 and the subsequent Subsidieregeling Coöperatieve Energie (SCE). Members receive tax exemptions on energy produced from renewable sources up to 10,000 kWh annually for 15 years. Energy production is sold to green energy suppliers like Greenchoice, with profits distributed among members based on share ownership. The cooperative has completed multiple projects since 2019, including installations at businesses, agricultural facilities, and funeral homes.
