about us

The LaNEG Hessen e.V. is an initiative funded by the Hessian Ministry of Economic Affairs, Energy, Transport and Housing for the networking and promotion of Hessian citizen energy cooperatives. The network has set itself the goal of supporting the energy cooperatives in the further expansion of renewable energies by jointly tacking solutions to the challenges in a cooperative sense. Cooperatives make an important contribution to regional development. They offer not only financial participation, but also a high degree of co-determination in their activities due to their democratic structure. In addition, they are an ideal instrument for advancing the renewable energy supply and at the same time making citizens investors and thus carriers of the energy transition.
