"This research studies the attributes towards what makes successful energy cooperatives, focusing \r\non political aspects and sociological aspects. Two countries are studied and compared, The \r\nNetherlands a country that has a relatively well-developed energy cooperative network and Ireland a \r\ncountry that has struggled to see successful energy cooperatives. The objective of the study is to \r\nidentify how policies and social aspects affect the success of renewable energy cooperatives. The \r\nresearch question for this paper is “How do policies and sociological aspects between The \r\nNetherlands and the Republic of Ireland concerning citizen involvement in producing renewable \r\nenergies affect the success of renewable energy cooperatives? This question was answered by \r\nconducting four in-depth semi-structured interviews with members of energy cooperatives two in \r\nthe Netherlands and two in Ireland, and a study of existing literature and policy papers. The results \r\nfrom this research show that the policy aspects have far more influence on the success of the energy \r\ncooperatives than societal aspects. Even when an energy cooperative has a lot of community \r\nsupport and a large membership, without strong supporting policies the cooperative will struggle to \r\nbe successful and reach the goals of the members."^^ .
