Utrecht, the Netherlands - New sustainable energy cooperatives have been started in several Dutch cities in response to the slow implementation of green energy initiatives in the country. These initiatives are funded from the proceeds of the sale of Nuon and Essent to Vattenfall and Eon, respectively. The North Holland Environmental Federation (http://www.milieufederatienoordholland.nl) has organized a debate on the commercial prospects of these new cooperatives on October 15th, 2009. Albert Fischer, Managing Director of Yellow&Blue Investment Management B.V., will participate in the panel discussion along with Bart Heller (Delegate of the Province North Holland), Fred Gardner (Teamwork Technology), Sjef Peeraer (SP Innovation) and Peter van Vliet (iNSnet).
