Energie in Comune (EICOM) is building a member-owned cooperative designed to make economic activity more ethical, democratic and beneficial to local communities. The initiative is in its founding phase and is seeking members among individuals, businesses and organizations. Its stated mission is to strengthen purchasing power and create shared value through responsible commerce, shorter supply chains and ethical finance, with cooperative income reinvested in social and community projects.

For members, EICOM plans a protected marketplace for goods and services, including an e-commerce portal, online and physical shops, and a business-to-business market connecting companies with suppliers. Purchases are intended to earn cashback that members can use for future spending. The cooperative also aims to provide electronic payment services and explore complementary payment methods and electronic money. Members are expected to participate in decisions through the Decidim platform, including choices about local investments. Proposed community priorities include social support, health and prevention, environmental assessment, and ethical businesses and startups.
