REScoop.eu is the European federation of renewable energy cooperatives,^[1] founded in 2011.

As of April 2016^[update] it has 20 member organisations (either individual REScoops or regional REScoop federations) in 11 European Member States, representing 1,240 individual REScoops and their 300,000 citizens.^[2]

Its routine administration is handled by the Belgian cooperative Ecopower.^[3]

On December 24, 2013, the European federation of groups and cooperatives of citizens for renewable energy (REScoop.EU) was legally established under Belgian national law with a European scope. This legal act is a key issue to further develop the activities of the European federation and it constitutes the base to build a strong European renewable energy cooperative alliance.^[4]

REScoop is a short term for Renewable Energy Source Cooperative.^[5]

REScoop.eu advocates for a decentralized, renewable, efficient, clean and sustainable energy system with citizens at its core, referring to the energy transition as “the energy transition to energy democracy”.
