Zon op Purmerend

About

Founded in 2021, Zon op Purmerend is a co-op headquartered in Purmerend, Netherlands with approximately 1-10 employees specializing in Solar.

Zon op Purmerend is a citizen-led energy cooperative founded by Stichting Opgewekt in Purmerend to deploy multiple solar panel projects on large municipal and institutional rooftops. Members buy certificates (representing portions of installations rather than physical panels) and share revenues from electricity generation and energy tax refunds. The cooperative guarantees 15 years of energy tax credits to participants whose postcodes fall within designated service zones. Revenue streams include income from power purchase agreements with energy suppliers and energy tax refunds via the postcode tax scheme. The cooperative works with Energie Samen for member administration and billing. Projects include Zon op Stadhuis, Zon op de Kraal, Zon op de Beuk, and Zon op Leeghwaterbad.
