General meeting in Gasteiz on 29 March
On 29 March, the Goiener annual general meeting was held in Gasteiz. Around 160 people attended in order to share news regarding the progress of the cooperative and the results of the last year.
The theatre of the Arriaga Civic Centre was the chosen venue to present the activities undertaken over the past year, its most significant milestones and results in a fun, information-packed meeting.
Highlights of the event included a presentation for members regarding the internal rules of procedure, the activities of the various working groups, the strategic plan for this year, and voting to update the executive board.
In order for us to improve any future meetings, we would be interested to hear your feedback. You’ll soon receive a short questionnaire which will allow you to let us know how you rate various aspects of the organization of the meeting.

Conference in E.P. Usurbil on renewable energy in the face of the framework
Details of the conference:
During the talk in Usurbil, which was attended by around 50 people, the leading expert in the sector, Jorge Morales de Labra, talked to us about the situation of renewable energy and its reward with the new framework designed by the Government.
While the situation depicted was, on the one hand, realistic and somber, it also underlined that renewable energy is unavoidable and what we are seeing are delay tactics so that the big companies don’t lose their huge slice of the energy market pie.
The current regulatory framework has served to highlight the risks of self-supply if not declared, ill-conceived fines, and the risk of those cases where self-supply is declared but becomes unviable when the back-up toll is finally applied.
Our director, Santi Ochoa de Eribe, then proceeded to describe the current strategy of the cooperative, how we are looking into the option of carrying out new projects, despite the present situation, or even rescuing existing plants which are found in our territory.
An interesting day which will hopefully encourage more people to join forces with GoiEner.
