Why an Energy Co-op to bridge the renewables gap?
“There will actually be more capacity in our home batteries and our EVs than the entire battery storage requirements we need for the energy transition,”

By pooling our resources, we gain greater power and opportunities, so we are on a level-playing field with big energy providers.
