Project outline (max. 3,000 characters) | Project: Practice platform for business models of energy cooperatives
The aim of the platform is to share the experiential knowledge of cooperatives: Innovations, new business models or the further development of business models up-to-date and at a glance. In addition, there are, for example, specialist articles on future topics (e.g. storage solutions).
For the presentation of the practical examples, a recurring format is useful (e.g. business field, project, goals, situation, planning and realization, project details, material, contact / contact person for questions, possibly photos.
The Netzwerk Energiewende Jetzt e.V. has made the experience that the willingness of cooperatives to exchange know-how is high. However, most actors do not provide information themselves, mainly because of a lack of time resources.
