REScoop MECISE · MECISE

REScoop MECISE is a European Cooperative Society that envisions a Europe where citizens have energy sovereignty—making decisions, sharing benefits, and driving a democratic transition to clean energy. Our mission is to scale citizen led renewable energy and energy efficiency by unlocking finance and strengthening democratic control of energy systems across Europe

REScoop MECISE was established following the successful REScoop MECISE Horizon 2020 project (2015–2019), a European initiative launched by the Belgian cooperative Ecopower together with REScoop.eu and four member cooperatives: Courant d’Air (BE), Enercoop (FR), Energy4All (UK), and SomEnergia (ES). The project demonstrated the potential of citizen-led energy initiatives and highlighted the need for dedicated financial support to scale up local projects across Europe.
