What Bürger-Energie-Genossenschaft Neuburg-Schrobenhausen-Aichach-Eichstätt eG does

Bürger-Energie-Genossenschaft Neuburg-Schrobenhausen-Aichach-Eichstätt eG is a registered German citizen energy cooperative (eingetragene Genossenschaft, eG), founded in 2013 and headquartered in Schrobenhausen, Bavaria. It serves regional citizens across the districts of Neuburg-Schrobenhausen, Aichach, and Eichstätt, enabling participatory investment in locally rooted renewable energy projects. Members join by purchasing cooperative shares (Genossenschaftsanteile) starting at EUR 100, with one vote per member regardless of share count under German cooperative law.

The cooperative develops, realizes, and operates renewable energy projects in photovoltaics, wind energy, and district heating solutions. Its active portfolio includes the ground-mounted Bürgersolarpark Gachenbach I and Sandizell I solar projects, plus the developing Windprojekt Scharnitz and Windprojekt Münster-Brand wind projects. Wind project development is consolidated under a wholly-owned subsidiary, BEG-Wind-PE GmbH & Co. KG, which bundles capital, expertise, and regional responsibility across the project lifecycle. A digital Mitgliederportal enables fully online participation, including interest declarations, contract signing, and document storage. The cooperative also engages landowners for site hosting and conducts information events and university presentations at THI to expand awareness.

Revenue mechanics combine cooperative membership shares, project-specific qualified subordinated loans (Nachrangdarlehen) carrying fixed interest rates, and operational income from energy production distributed to members. Distribution is community-led through digital channels (website, Facebook, member portal) and in-person regional groups and information events. The cooperative is led by Chairman Peter Mießl and board member Alfred Seitz, operates with 9 employees, and holds no external institutional capital.

Revenue model

1. Cooperative Membership Shares: Members purchase Genossenschaftsanteile (cooperative shares) starting at 100 EUR, giving them co-ownership of the cooperative and participation in its economic results. Multiple shares increase profit participation but retain one vote per member in the Generalversammlung.
2. Project Participations (Darlehen / Qualified Subordinated Loans): Members provide loans to the cooperative for specific renewable energy projects, receiving fixed interest rates. Loans are subordinated, meaning interest and repayment are secondary to other liabilities in case of financial difficulties.
3. Renewable Energy Project Development and Operation: The cooperative develops, realizes, and operates renewable energy projects (photovoltaic and wind) in the Bavaria region. Revenue is generated through energy production and sale, with profits distributed to members.

Direct peers

• Solarcomplex GmbH: Solarcomplex is a regional renewable energy cooperative-developer in southern Germany operating solar, wind, and district heating projects with citizen participation. It is directly comparable to BEG in combining community-owned solar/wind project development with member financing and district heating activities.
• Lichtblick SE: Lichtblick is a German renewable energy supplier and virtual power plant operator with a strong focus on decentralized generation and customer/member participation. It is comparable in offering renewable energy with a community-oriented go-to-market and in developing decentralized generation assets, similar in spirit to BEG's cooperative model.
• Naturstrom AG: Naturstrom is a German renewable energy company that develops and operates wind, solar, and biomass projects and supplies eco-power to customers. It is comparable as a German renewable developer-operator with overlapping activities in wind and PV project development and community participation, though structured as an AG rather than a Genossenschaft.
• Bürgerwerke eG: Bürgerwerke is a cooperative of cooperatives that pools electricity from more than 80 German Bürgerenergie cooperatives and supplies it to members. It is directly comparable as it operates the same member-owned cooperative model, targets the same citizen energy segment, and provides a marketplace for renewable energy produced by local cooperatives like BEG.
• Enerix GmbH: Enerix is a German mid-sized project developer specializing in solar parks and wind projects, with a regional franchise model that engages local citizens as co-investors. It is directly comparable to BEG in developing ground-mounted PV and wind projects in Bavaria/regional Germany and enabling local citizens to participate financially in those projects.
• EWS Schönau eG: EWS Schönau is one of Germany's most prominent citizen-owned energy cooperatives, supplying renewable electricity from local generation to members and customers. It is directly comparable as a member-owned energy cooperative operating in a defined regional geography, mirroring the BEG cooperative's governance, member-participation, and renewable project development model.
• Green Planet Energy eG: Green Planet Energy (formerly Greenpeace Energy) is a Hamburg-based energy cooperative that supplies 100% renewable electricity to its members and invests in renewable generation projects. It is directly comparable as a cooperative-structured renewable energy provider that channels member capital into generation assets, similar to BEG's loan-based project participation model.
• Energiegenossenschaft Chemnitz-Nord eG: Energiegenossenschaft Chemnitz-Nord is a regional German energy cooperative developing citizen-owned renewable projects. It is directly comparable as another local German Genossenschaft pursuing community solar and wind project development with member-based capital, similar in structure and scale to BEG.

Broad incumbents

• BayWa r.e. GmbH: BayWa r.e. is a global renewable energy developer, trader, and operator with deep Bavarian roots and substantial wind and solar project activity. It is comparable in being a major German-based developer of utility-scale wind and solar, though it operates at much greater scale and as a commercial entity rather than a citizen cooperative.
• JUWI GmbH: JUWI is one of Germany's largest renewable energy project developers, operating across wind, solar, and hybrid projects nationwide. It overlaps with BEG in the underlying project development and operation of wind and solar assets, but operates at a far larger scale as a broad incumbent rather than a small regional cooperative.
