About
Founded in 2014, Energiegenossenschaft Leipzig is a co-op headquartered in Leipzig, Germany specializing in Solar.
Energiegenossenschaft Leipzig (EGL) is a citizens' energy cooperative dedicated to advancing the energy transition in Leipzig and the surrounding region. The organization develops and operates renewable energy installations, primarily solar systems, constructed where energy is consumed to ensure economic viability and price stability for consumers. As both a generator and energy supplier, EGL sources electricity from renewable resources and distributes profits back to cooperative members, creating a closed regional economic cycle in the energy sector. The cooperative operates in partnership with other energy cooperatives, including Bürgerwerke eG, to supply members with renewable electricity. EGL is governed democratically and emphasizes decentralized, citizen-led energy policy.
