About

Oprozenfacilitair is a co-op headquartered in Rijssen, Netherlands specializing in Solar.

Coöperatie Op Rozen Facilitair (CORF) is a Dutch cooperative that facilitates local energy initiatives and solar energy projects. CORF specializes in the Postcoderoosregeling (Subsidieregeling Coöperatieve Energieopwekking) framework, enabling community members to jointly invest in solar installations on rooftops of businesses, institutions, and apartment buildings. The organization helps establish local energy cooperatives, manage project administration, and ensure equitable profit-sharing among members. CORF's model aims to make renewable energy accessible to all community members regardless of roof availability, using predominantly external financing (80% bank loans, ~20% subordinated loans). By end of 2022, CORF had facilitated 33 projects installing over 16,000 solar panels in Hof van Twente and Rijssen-Holten regions. The cooperative also advises businesses on optimal rooftop solar utilization and supports variants including employer and entrepreneur cooperatives.
