Weavers Way Co-op has switched the electricity and natural gas services for all its stores to The Energy Co-op, a local, member-owned nonprofit providing renewable energy to homes and businesses throughout Southeastern Pennsylvania, the two organizations announced on Monday.

“With this partnership, Weavers Way can strengthen the local cooperative economy and direct our resources toward an organization deeply committed to expanding green energy,” said Jon Roesser, general manager of Weavers Way.

Weavers Way has long supported renewable energy, and the move to The Energy Co-op represents another opportunity to “walk the walk” by directing member dollars toward a fellow local cooperative with shared values, Weavers Way said in a news release. The Energy Co-op only offers renewable electricity, unlike many companies that have renewables alongside fossil-fuel sourced power offerings.

A partnership with another co-op, the Clean Energy Co-op, has made it possible for Weavers Way to have solar panels on some of its buildings, including its newest store in Germantown.

The Energy Co-op enables homes and businesses to invest in 100% local renewable electricity and 100% renewable natural gas and support renewable energy progress. In 2025, it reported that its membership collectively avoided 3,718 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent — more than 8 million pounds of carbon emissions.

Both co-ops are owned by their members. When customers switch to The Energy Co-op, they become member owners with a voice in how the organization operates. Members can vote for the board of directors and governing bylaws, help shape energy programs and participate in educational initiatives.

The Energy Co-op also works with partner organizations to educate members about energy conservation, energy efficiency, energy justice and ways to support renewable energy progress.
