Four cooperatives join hands

4 September 2025
Genne, 4 September 2025 - Good news for everyone who has a heart for local, green energy: Coöperatie Energiek Zwartewaterland U.A., Coöperatie Blauwvinger Energie and Energiecoöperatie Berkum U.A. are teaming up with Energiecoöperatie DuurSaam BuurtWint and will become co-owners of Duursaam Buurtwint Exploitatie B.V. The official signing of the deeds took place on 3 September.

With this move, the cooperatives are joining forces and making it clear: together we can achieve more. Working together will not only strengthen the future of these cooperatives, but also keep the proceeds of renewable energy in their own communities as much as possible. 

"We are proud to be doing this together. By sharing our ownership, we ensure that renewable energy really belongs to all of us," Says Miranda Peer, president of Coöperatie Duursaam Buurtwint. 

The signing at the notary's office is a festive moment, but above all a symbolic step: more cooperation, more clout and more opportunities to shape the energy transition locally. 

Genne-Haerst wind farm 

After months of intensive work, the application to obtain a permit for the realisation of Genne-Haerst wind farm was submitted to Overijssel Province at the end of August. To increase our chances of approval, we have submitted several configurations. Overijssel Province expects to make a decision in this by mid-November.
