Kennemer Kracht

About

Kennemer Kracht is a co-op headquartered in Haarlem, Netherlands specializing in Solar.

Kennemer Kracht is a professional non-profit energy cooperative that develops and manages decentralized renewable energy installations, primarily collective solar rooftops in the Kennemerland and IJmond regions. The organization enables residents and organizations to collectively invest in and benefit from solar energy production. As a cooperative structure, it operates with over 400 members across six solar rooftops (four in Haarlem, one in Santpoort-Noord, one in IJmuiden), plus two additional rooftops managed from partner cooperatives. Members acquire solar shares and receive 15-year guaranteed reductions on energy bills under the postcode roof regulation, along with direct compensation for generated electricity. Building owners receive roof compensation fees. The organization plans future expansion into wind energy projects and offers lease options for building owners since 2025.
