Energiek Zwartewaterland

About

Founded in 2018, Energiek Zwartewaterland is a co-op headquartered in Hasselt, Netherlands with approximately 1-10 employees specializing in Solar.

Energiek Zwartewaterland is a non-profit local energy cooperative founded in 2018, driven entirely by volunteers. The cooperative facilitates community investment in solar energy through Postcoderoos projects, collaborating with businesses and organizations to install solar panels on their rooftops. Members from the Zwartewaterland postcode areas (7954, 8034, 8035, 8043, 8061, 8064, 8281, 8291, 8294) can participate directly or as crowdfunders. The cooperative operates under the Subsidieregeling Coöperatieve Energieopwekking (SCE) scheme, guaranteeing 15-year returns to participants. As of the stated period, two operational Postcoderoos projects generated over 350 solar panels with 36+ participants. The cooperative aims to achieve 100% green and locally-generated energy for Zwartewaterland, with plans to expand into additional solar projects and larger initiatives including wind and smart grids.
