The strength of the Unión

Cooperatives, energy communities
and end-users

Unión Renovables

Unión Renovables is a union of cooperatives of consumers and end-users of renewable energy. We represent 24 municipal and regional cooperatives that sell 100% renewable electricity to more than 120,000 members throughout the country.

In addition to supplying energy, we accompany our members on the path towards more responsible consumption: we offer training, clear information about the electricity sector and consultancy services.

Today, Unión Renovables also promotes, supports and joins energy communities, providing another tool to advance towards a fair, inclusive energy transition with a positive impact at a local level.
