Hi all,
I absolutely realize that the link is an article from “Invalid DateTime” but it claims that from 2023 it would be possible to be part of some (I assume overly complicated) ownership of offshore windmills.
Does anyone know if anything more has been published on this? In French maybe? My French is horrible, but my reading is basic on a good day at least.
It seems like an interesting initiative anyway so any info is welcome.

I think it is right. The 17 energy cooperatives of Flanders, Brussels and Wallonia are in the process of setting up a super-cooperative with the aim of jointly investing EUR 250 million (if I am correct) in a wind farm at sea in a few years’ time. The super-cooperative will be called Seacoop and each energy cooperative will raise a minimum of 5 million euros in civilian capital. This seems to be a good investment. The wind farm already in existence has a return of more than 10% and with the current energy prices this does not seem to be going to decrease. if you want to start joining one of the cooperatives, you can contact them: the list can be found at https://www.rescoopv.be and https://www.rescoop-wallonie.be/. I myself am a member at http://www.druifkracht.be and at http://www.ecoob.be. Welcome!
