About us
On November 7, 2022, a group of dedicated citizens from the canton of Remich founded a cooperative under the name "Energiekooperativ Kanton Remich".
​
The canton of Remich covers a total area of 127.87 km² and has approximately 23,700 inhabitants (as of January 2022).
The Board of Directors of the Energy Cooperative Canton Remich
This cooperative consists of 8 representatives from the municipalities of Bous-Waldbredimus, Stadtbredimus, Remich, Mondorf-les-Bains, Dalheim, Lenningen, and Schengen.
Producing solar power on one's own roof has so far been a privilege reserved for homeowners. A fact that can change with the newly established Energy Cooperative in the canton of Remich.
​
Now, all residents of the canton of Remich can contribute to the success of the energy transition by participating in a joint photovoltaic system.
​
The sun provides an endless amount of energy that is free, unlimited, and environmentally friendly. Through photovoltaics, it is converted into clean, electric "green power."
The Goals of the Cooperative
-
Implementation and development of projects related to the production of renewable energy with the participation of citizens;
-
Production, purchase, and sale of renewable energy;
-
Promoting a rational and responsible approach to energy usage among its members and all citizens;
-
Advising members on their energy choices, along with the implementation of individual solutions for the production and consumption of renewable energy;
-
Supporting the management of consumption, reducing energy costs, and improving the ecological footprint;
-
Encouraging discussion about energy, which can lead to a sustainable energy policy and contribute to a more collective social life.
Projects are primarily realized in the canton of Remich.
​
The Energy Cooperative Canton Remich supports national energy and climate policy goals with its activities. Luxembourg aims to increase the share of renewable energy from 11% in 2020 to 25% by 2030. In 2014, the share was just 4.5%.
​
Investments are planned in the production of renewable energies such as solar, wind, and/or hydropower and biomass, as well as in the field of energy efficiency.
​
Through an inventory of municipal roof surfaces in the various municipalities, a number of roofs on municipal buildings have already been identified where photovoltaic systems can be installed.
​
The financing of these systems should primarily come from citizens of the canton of Remich, who can buy shares for 100€ each. In doing so, they become members of the cooperative, can participate in discussions and decisions, and thus make their personal contribution to climate protection.
​
This initiative was launched by LEADER Miselerland as part of its project "Renewable Energies in Miselerland." Financial support came from the 14 LEADER municipalities in Miselerland, the Ministry of Agriculture, Viticulture & Rural Development, and the European Union.
