Mission & Interests
Goals: SeaCoop cvso is a Belgian social enterprise cooperative established in April 2022. It was founded by 34 renewable energy citizen cooperatives. SeaCoop operates with a dual objective: first, to acquire a 20% stake in the new offshore wind farms in Belgium; and second, to supply 20% of the electricity generated by these offshore wind farms to Belgian households and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) through cooperative suppliers Ecopower and COCITER.
What makes SeaCoop different is its citizen-centered, collaborative, and socially responsible approach to offshore renewable energy. It seeks to stabilize energy prices, empower citizens, promote inclusivity, and advance sustainability while actively engaging with stakeholders and advocating for citizen participation in the energy transition. SeaCoop operates as a larger-scale energy community, facing the challenge of competing with powerful multinational consortia.
