FAQ

You have the right to consume electricity that you produce yourself, but you must comply with the connection conditions set by the relevant grid operator. These relate mainly to the safety of the electrical installation and the operation of the grid. For more information, please contact your electricity distribution grid operator.

Are you a member of an existing cooperative that does not yet have a photovoltaic installation, but which meets the conditions to benefit from an electricity purchase (comprising at least 7 people, a non-profit organisation or foundation)? You then have the possibility of convening an extraordinary general meeting in order to discuss extending the scope of activity to include electricity production.

If you do not have the option of installing your own photovoltaic system or if you want to invest in a sustainable future, then you may be interested in joining an existing energy cooperative.

For information on admission requirements, contact the cooperative in question directly. It is usually necessary to send a formal application to the relevant board of directors and, once approved, to acquire at least one share in the existing cooperative.
