What enostra does

ènostra is an Italian energy cooperative founded in 2014 and headquartered in Milan, operating as Italy's first energy cooperative and serving approximately 18,718-20,000 members (families, businesses, non-profits, condominiums, and renewable energy community participants) with 100% renewable electricity supply and related energy services. Its core product portfolio is the Soloverde family of electricity tariffs (Monoraria, Multioraria, Pertinenze for residential; Impresa for businesses; Terzo Settore for non-profits; Condomini for common areas), supplemented by Prosumer Casa and Prosumer Persona Giuridica fixed-price tariffs for members who invest in the Production Fund, and the Oraria Solare CER tariffs that introduce dynamic hourly pricing tied to solar production for renewable energy community (CER) members.

The cooperative's underlying technology is the proprietary Ampère digital platform, which manages the full lifecycle of renewable energy communities — feasibility, constitution, GSE registration, energy sharing, and incentive disbursement — and was recognized as the Best ESG & Sustainability Project at IKN's Utility Day. Beyond software, ènostra operates physical renewable generation assets totaling 3,831 kW of installed capacity producing 4,917 MWh annually (avoiding 26,492 tons of CO2/year) and offers installation services for rooftop PV, battery storage, balcony solar, heat pumps, EV charging stations, and the Sunreport monitoring tool.

Commercially, ènostra runs a community-led and event-driven go-to-market: members become co-owners by signing electricity supply contracts, purchasing energy services, or investing in the Production Fund, and growth is driven by word-of-mouth, territorial groups, partnerships (REScoop.eu, CNGEI, Politecnico di Milano, Legacoop Romagna), and educational/community events. Revenue is generated through usage-based electricity supply (PUN-indexed for most plans), Production Fund investor capital, fixed-price Prosumer subscriptions, one-time energy efficiency project fees, and CER consulting/management services; the cooperative does not publish financials but is supported by grants such as European Climate Foundation funding for the Sardinia-based Energie di Marmilla project.

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• A2A: Major Italian multi-utility with generation, distribution, and retail electricity operations across northern Italy. Broad incumbent that competes for the same residential and SME renewable supply customers, with vastly greater scale and balance sheet.
• Iren: Italian multi-utility with electricity generation, distribution, and retail supply across multiple regions. Overlaps with ènostra in retail renewable supply and increasingly in energy community services.

Direct peers

• Enercoop: French renewable energy cooperative supplying green electricity to members and developing citizen-owned generation projects. Directly comparable in cooperative governance, renewable supply, and member-driven model.
• Ecopower: Belgian citizen cooperative producing and supplying renewable electricity to members, with active investment in wind and solar generation. Closely mirrors ènostra's cooperative production-and-supply model in a neighboring European market.
• Som Energia: Spain's leading renewable energy cooperative, producing and supplying 100% renewable electricity to member-owners. Closest direct peer to ènostra in model, mission, and structure within the Iberian/Mediterranean cooperative ecosystem.
• Our Power Cooperative: Greek energy cooperative supplying renewable electricity and supporting energy community development. Comparable cooperative structure and Mediterranean market context to ènostra.
• COOPERNICO: Portuguese renewable energy cooperative supplying 100% renewable electricity to member-customers. Highly comparable cooperative retail model operating in Southern Europe with similar regulatory and grid dynamics to Italy.

Regional players

• Alperia: South Tyrol-based Italian utility with significant renewable generation and retail supply focused on northern Italy. Comparable in renewable generation and retail focus, but operates at regional rather than national cooperative scale.
• Illumia: Independent Italian energy retailer offering renewable electricity supply to households and SMEs. Comparable target customer base and renewable retail offering, but operates as a for-profit challenger rather than cooperative.

Others

• Legacoop Romagna: Italian cooperative federation actively partnering with ènostra to develop Energy Communities among Romagna cooperatives. Adjacent enabler of the CER ecosystem in which ènostra operates as technical partner and supplier.
