Energy community
Together, we make local energy possible
An energy community is the way for citizens or businesses to get started with sustainable energy themselves. With GreenTrust, you combine forces: jointly investing in solar or wind energy, managing consumption smartly, and fairly sharing the proceeds.
Thanks to our extensive experience with energy cooperatives, we know what support truly makes a difference.

We guide energy communities from idea to realization. From organization and participation to technology and financing: we ensure everything is right. This way, we build projects together that are supported by the community and contribute to the energy transition.
What is an energy community?
An energy community is a collective of residents, businesses, or organizations that jointly invest in sustainable energy – think solar, wind, or storage. Members share in the proceeds, influence the project, and contribute to a fairer distribution of costs and benefits. GreenTrust believes that the energy transition can only truly succeed if everyone can participate. That’s why we aim for at least 50% local ownership in our projects.
Experienced and committed
Setting up an energy community involves a lot. GreenTrust adapts to the local situation and offers customized solutions at every stage of the process – advisory, executive, or as an integral project partner. Our strength? Experience, commitment, and results.
GreenTrust collaborates with dozens of energy cooperatives throughout the Netherlands. Together, we build sustainable projects that are supported by the community.
