Energy Community of Karditsa (ESEK) is a profit citizen energy cooperative composed of over 350 members (Municipalities, SMEs, associations, citizens, etc.)

Since 2010, ESEK has been fostering renewable energy in the region of Karditsa. 

ESEK joined the local OBCD ecosystem in Greece, driven by their recognition of the substantial potential that Community Energy production holds for Europe. It is empirically shown that Renewable Energy Cooperatives (RESCoops) are important enablers of the energy transition while also leading to a wide range of social impacts. 

Such impacts include: 

1️⃣ an increased acceptance of renewable energy developments,

2️⃣faster uptake of low carbon technologies, 

3️⃣ more sustainable behaviors, 

4️⃣ and lower risk of energy poverty. 💡🔋
