The Federal Office of Energy Cooperatives represents the interests of 850 energy cooperatives, which are organized under the umbrella of the German Cooperative and Raiffeisen Association (DGRV). The federal office in Berlin is the central point of contact for federal politics, but also for authorities, associations and the public. The main task is to give the energy cooperatives a voice in the national political debate about the energy transition. The federal office is supported by the DGRV together with the Baden-Württemberg Cooperative Association e.V., the Cooperative Association e.V., the Cooperative Association Bavaria e.V. and the Cooperative Association Weser-Ems e.V.
