A new study by researchers from Leuphana University reveals that āpersonal profits are one of the least important motives ā strengthening the community (including financially) is much bigger,ā according to Morris: āCitizens see community energy coops not only as a way of making a sound investment, but also of just being a good neighbour.ā
