The Greenpeace Energy Story

Where we started why we started

1996
In 1996 a political window of opportunity was opened

Liberalisation of European energy markets
NGO
Environmental watchdog Greenpeace founded Greenpeace Energy

Consumer power

Show case

Power supply based on Renewables is

technically and economically feasable

New spirit for the energy sector

Co-operative society, owned by our custumers

*Now, there are smarter ways for

using water power.

Max. ecological impact instead of max. profits

Still economically sound
