Citizens of Šabac have founded the first energy cooperative in Serbia, called Sunny Roofs. The cooperative will soon launch a crowdfunding campaign for its first project, the installation of a solar photovoltaic (PV) plant on the roofs of public heating utility Toplana-Šabac.
Energy cooperatives have become an increasingly common model for citizens’ involvement in energy transition in Europe over the last few years, while the most active one in the region is the Green Energy Cooperative or ZEZ (Zelena energetska zadruga).
