Working with our member Electra Energy Cooperative is always a true pleasure. Our relationship has been exemplary and inspiring, with an incredible milestone highlighted last year: the jointly organized Community Energy Spring Gathering in Athens. Bringing the – for us so important – cooperative values into practice, Electra’s team exhibits dedication, passion, and professionalism, adding substantial value and experience to our European network of energy communities. Pioneering community energy in Greece, Electra extends invaluable insights and unwavering support to cooperatives in the Balkans and beyond. Together, we’ve achieved remarkable outcomes: strengthening policy recognition, establishing enabling frameworks, and promoting inclusivity within the community energy movement.

We are a research organisation that tackles a broad spectrum of collaborative organisational activities in society. Electra has been an invaluable partner in projects related to community energy. They have greatly expanded our understanding of the practical considerations of community energy but also how to approach citizen engagement in a successful and meaningful way. As researchers primarily engaging in action research, this has been immensely helpful. Their commitment to their social goal for energy sustainability and justice is abundantly obvious in their intense devotion to the work, often to the detriment of their personal lives!

CommonEn, our energy community, would not be created and thriving without the support of Electra. They have gone above and beyond with guiding us through the labyrinthine process of establishing the community in Greece, but also in starting our first energy projects and managing them too. They are a bastion for energy democracy and sustainability and definitely a key actor in the success of genuine energy communities in Greece and abroad.

Electra Energy has been an invaluable partner, steadfastly supporting Hyperion throughout our journey. Thanks to them we have managed to overcome several obstacles when forming our community and developing our solar park, we have benefited from international projects focused on research and empowerment and have gained confidence as an engaged community. Electra stands as a trusted partner, not just for us but for every citizen-led energy community. The uniqueness of their values—democracy, fairness, and inclusivity in the energy transition—resonates with and aligns perfectly with our vision.

Minoan Energy Community has had the fortune and pleasure to work with Electra Energy on a number of projects and, in general, to team up with them on the path of a just and democratic energy transition for local communities. We consider Electra Energy as one of our key partners and supporters of our effort, which, in practice, is a joint effort, as well as one of the most important actors of the solidarity-based energy economy in Greece. We will continue together until our final validation, which is none other than the distribution of the energy wealth in Greece with absolute priority to its citizens!

ZEZ and Electra  share several mutual projects that are strategically aligned, aiming to achieve a greater collective goal. Working with their team is always a standout experience, highlighted by their deep understanding, expertise, and collaborative spirit.  They consistently offer insightful knowledge and explore new opportunities with a positive, motivated attitude. Their commitment to exceeding expectations and nurturing a constructive partnership has significantly empowered our energy community and strengthened our partnership. This collaboration has not only advanced our shared objectives forward but has also established a new standard for what true partnership can accomplish in the renewable energy sector.
