EnerCoop Uelzechtdall is a cooperative group of citizens who want to actively support the energy revolution. The cooperative is a project of Transitioun Uelzechtdall and has the following aims:

• to implement and develop projects for the construction, operation and maintenance of facilities for the production and storage of renewable energy, in particular through the sale of purchased energy in the form of electricity and/or heat and the purchase and distribution of equipment for renewable energy production. The cooperative seeks to ensure that its members can consume the renewable energy produced

• to promote rational and responsible energy use among its cooperating members and the general public

• the promotion, advice, support and information to its members and third parties on all issues related to the field of renewable energies

• the cooperative seeks rather to promote citizen participation in local, democratic and educational projects and is not primarily dedicated to enriching its members, who receive only a limited patrimonial benefit.

EnerCoop Uelzechtdall offers a socially and ecologically responsible alternative to contemporary energy consumption and production practices. Currently most of the energy consumed in Luxembourg is imported, and only a tiny part of the energy produced in Luxembourg comes from renewable sources.

Founding
The first meetings for the foundation of a cooperative took place in autumn 2018 and in a democratic process the goals as well as the organisational structure of the cooperative were elaborated and recorded in the statutes. We are currently developing a first project – the construction of a photovoltaic plant. With the start of this project we will initiate the official foundation of the cooperative.
