WEnCoop is a “broad-based” energy cooperative created by women from diverse backgrounds and cultures from crafts to services, commerce and hotels. This is an initiative of the Greek Association of Women Entrepreneurs – S.E.G.E. which aims to develop and promote women’s entrepreneurship, through which its members will be able to operate in the energy sector, utilizing clean energy sources. The members of WEnCoop join forces to innovate and develop the 1st Energy Cooperative in Europe, putting into practice the energy revolution in the world of net zero.
Energy cooperatives are an important vehicle for the transition to green economy and serve as important tools for achieving the EU goal: to make Europe the first climate-neutral continent by 2050. WEnCoop’s vision is to provide opportunities for all, and in the meantime its members to assist in both the promotion of clean energy and the protection of the environment.
The goals of the WEnCoop Energy Cooperative are to develop women entrepreneurship and to promote energy innovation, to address energy poverty, to promote energy sustainability, to produce, to store, to consume, to distribute and to supply energy; end-use efficiency, at local and regional level. WEnCoop’s individual goals are to strengthen the role of citizens and to gradually evolve from consumers to active members and micro-investors in local clean energy investment projects.
