01 The context
The Onergia cooperative, created in 2017 and accompanied by the Unión de Cooperativas Tosepan Titataniske, installs photovoltaic systems in cooperative hotels (Taselotzin, Tosepan Kali), training centers and homes, and trains young people in panel installation and eco-technologies. In Cuetzalan ~160 panels have been installed; at the Taselotzin hotel the electricity bill dropped from ~8,000 to ~700 pesos per month.
