- Akuo, a French renewable power producer and developer, has launched a crowdfunding campaign to raise funds for a portfolio of solar power plants.
- According to the National Integrated Energy-Climate Plan (NECP), Greece aims to increase its renewable energy share to 80 per cent by 2030.
Akuo, a French renewable power producer and developer, has announced the launch of a crowdfunding campaign for a portfolio of solar power plants in the Thessaly region of Greece. Also, the campaign, the first of its kind for the group, is in partnership with Lendosphere, experts in participative financing.
The initial campaign amount is set at 1 million euros and is open to all European citizens interested in investing in renewable energies. Launching a participatory financing campaign for its solar power plants in Thessaly, Greece, signifies Akuo’s commitment to promoting energy transition.
Likewise, this campaign, facilitated through the “AkuoCoop by Lendosphere” platform, aims to engage European citizens in supporting renewable energy initiatives. The 8-hectare solar farm in Thessaly consists of four photovoltaic power plants with a total output of 4 MWp, contributing to Europe’s energy transition.
However, by investing in refinancing the Thessaly solar farm operated by Akuo, savers can actively participate in Europe’s energy transition. With a minimum contribution of 100 euros, interested investors can register online on AkuoCoop by Lendosphere and become part of a sustainable energy future.
The platform’s collaboration with EDF Renewables highlights its commitment to expanding partnerships and promoting renewable energy projects. By emphasising community involvement and value sharing with local stakeholders, Akuo underscores its dedication to sustainability and community development.
Also, the four photovoltaic plants within the Thessaly solar farm near Larissa generate 6.3 GWh annually, sufficient to power 570 homes and reduce CO2 emissions by 2,100 tonnes annually. Commissioned in 2023, these solar plants symbolise the initial phase of a broader plan to establish a total capacity of 500 MW in collaboration with the Thessaly region.
Furthermore, Greece aims to increase its renewable energy share to 80 per cent by 2030, aligning with the National Integrated Energy-Climate Plan (NECP). Akuo’s support for this transition reflects its dedication to sustainable projects and energy development. Greece’s commitment signals a positive shift towards decarbonisation, offering opportunities to accelerate sustainable practices and renewable energy projects.
