Community owned energy production

Community energy projects exist in a variety of forms across the continent. One such example is that of Culemborg (The Netherlands), a small town which raised €1.2 million in a record-breaking crowd-funding effort to purchase and run a wind turbine. 6,000 shares in the project were sold for €200 each, attracting 1,700 small investors from across the country. Other European examples include solar villages in Spain, and community energy saving schemes in the Czech Republic.
