Who Dirk Knapen - product developer - 1997 Folkecenter for renewable energy Denmark - Study tours to Denmark in 1997, 1999, 2013, 2014 - 12 years environmental movement on climate and energy - REScoop.be since February 2012 REScoop.be, Federation of groups and cooperatives of citizens for renewable energy “A cooperative is an autonomous association of persons united voluntarily to meet their common economic, social, and cultural needs and aspirations through a jointly owned and democratically-controlled enterprise.” Cooperative groups as a third way in between - purely private and purely public - large scale and individual - 1% return on citizen savings and investor ROIs of 30 to 50%

World suffering from growing pains Ecological deterioration Cultural frictions Unfair distribution
Earth Overshoot Day 2014 august 19th
Growing out of crisis without hurting others or the environment, now or in the future, here or elsewhere, is no longer an option unless… based on the single outside source we have … the SUN growing organic food, using renewable energy, harvesting materials (sinks for CO2)
![Page 6: Dirk Knapen - Rescoop, Belgium](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032619/55baadb2bb61eb20308b4602/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Integrated use of the sun
![Page 7: Dirk Knapen - Rescoop, Belgium](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032619/55baadb2bb61eb20308b4602/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Common and public goods Common goods - free by nature (land, beaches, forests, sun,
wind, water, sea, rivers,…) - free right of access for everyone - no legal owners
Public goods - paid for by taxpayers or consumers - public services
(roads, railways, airports, ports, water distribution, telecommunication and electricity grids, high tension lines, public buildings, schools hospitals,…)
- owned by citizens collectively
Neither of both should be privatized Citizens claim them

Turning reaction into action Omikronproject 136 Thessaloniki water Alternative Festival of Solidarity & Collaborative Economy 3rd edition Athens 10-11-12 October Energy cooperatives - Sifnos Green Energy Cooperative - Agro energy cooperative Lamia Kapa cooperatives network Greenpeace crowdfunding school in Stropones, Euboea 40,000 € collected in 2 months time
Common and public goods for the benefit of local communities
![Page 9: Dirk Knapen - Rescoop, Belgium](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032619/55baadb2bb61eb20308b4602/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Common and public goods for the benefit of local communities Turning reaction into positive action
RE-connecting citizens
renewables as levers for local development
Harvesting values for the benefit of local communities
– harvesting : preparing, supporting, nurturing, protecting – values :
– resilience, self confidence, peace, solidarity, generosity, kindness, abundance, social cohesion, local employment, security of supply, price stability, energy autonomy, healthier environment, reduced climate impact, …
– 100% sustainable energy supply > 90 € per inhabitant per month

Renewables supporting Greek islands Actual cost of electricity production based on oil on island > 0.250 €/kWh Comparative value of electricity on the mainland (lignite) 0.035 €/kWh Energy share of consumer electricity bill 0.090-0.110 €/kWh Value of renewable energy on the island Non-interconnected 0.090-0.110 €/kWh Interconnected 0.035 €/kWh If not interconnected renewable energy is economically viable without subsidies If interconnected renewable energy needs financial support to compete with continental market prices and power plants that are granted the benefit of not integrating external costs (apart from a very low CO2 emission cost) Cost of balancing renewables on the island (demand side management, dispatchable production based on biogas/biomass, storage) to be compared to cost of interconnection cable to the mainland

Sustainable energy system Güssing Austria 2000 - 4000 inhabitants - 6 M€ purchase of fossil
fuels
2012 - 1000 jobs - 50 businesses attracted - 13 M€ of energy
produced from local renewable resources
- promotionactivities worldwide

Reclaiming island self-sufficiency
Keep values local
Go 100 % local sustainable energy supply Use what you already have - Buildings as storage for heat and cold - Daily (organic) waste collection, recycling
Demand side management - Agreements with hotel and restaurant owners, potters, … - Move power station units closer to consumers and valorize leftover heat
Add dispatchable production with benefits - Biogas valorizing organic waste flows, waste water treatment, slaughterhouses,…
Add storage - Improve energy efficiency of buildings - Electric vehicles
Integrate power, heating and cooling and transport
![Page 22: Dirk Knapen - Rescoop, Belgium](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032619/55baadb2bb61eb20308b4602/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Action Start small Involve citizens Set up citizen cooperative Demonstrate that you mean well Civilization = care for the defenseless Take everybody along Build trust – be transparant Schools are an excellent place combining - buildings that often could use some renovation - authorities that need to save money - contact with future generations and their families - wonderful communication basis for results

Further action Use momentum Create people’s bank? - NewB bank in Belgium “An other bank is possible”
Project went public 2013 First night 10,000 people interested 200,000 € collected By now 47,000 supporters, 2.7 million € collected
- E-banka and Open Source Bank, Croatia Create people’s green energy supplier? Cooperative green energy suppliers all over Europe linking green energy producers with customers - Som Energia, Spain, 2010 (17.000 customers) - Enercoop, France, 2005 (18.000 customers) - EWSchönau, Germany, 1994 (150.000 customers) - Ecopower, Belgium, 1991 (40.000 customers)
