摘要
WindShare evolved as an extension of the Toronto Renewable Energy Co-operative (TREC), which was formed in 1998 by members of a neighborhood-based environmental group. WindShare, Toronto-based energy cooperative, combines investor funds with community shares to generate clean energy on behalf of its members. The cooperative structure allows WindShare to successfully promote sustainability through a practical and affordable solution for members of its community. It is observed that the benefits of energy co-operatives, which include localizing energy sources and reducing electricity costs for members, are well documented.
