The paper clarifies the possibilities of cooperation and networking for small actors in the field of bioenergy production. The paper focuses on factors at three different environmental levels which may act either as enablers or barriers for the seizing of energy production opportunities and through the formation of partnerships and networks around them. The paper examines these aspects with a case of livestock breeders in Parikkala, a traditional rural municipality in Eastern Finland.
