COOPEM - Mouscron’s energy cooperative

The Cooperative Energy Mouscron (COOPEM) was founded in 2017 by 14 citizens, two entrepreneurs, ENERGIRIS (a Brussels-based cooperative) and Aralia (an investor in PV), with the support of the municipality of Mouscron. Their aim was to make photovoltaics (solar power) accessible to the largest possible number of citizens and companies in the area of Mouscron. As a cooperative, citizens can be shareholders of COOPEM. In
