Abstract: In this paper we show an up-to-date analysis of the economic feasibility of Energy CSOPs (Consumer Stock Ownership Plan). CSOPs are instruments for low-threshold community investment projects and have shown to be competitive tools for distributed investments. Applied to the renewable energy sector (in this instance, wind power), CSOPs can help fostering the decentralized power production landscape as well as busting possibly present prevalent monopolies. We analyze the financial and economic feasibility of a set of model projects and discuss the most important investment parameters.
