Act to foster the energy transition

AkuoCoop by Lendosphere is the participatory investment portal of the Akuo Group, independent French renewable energy producer. AkuoCoop by Lendosphere allows individuals or businesses to give real meaning to their savings. Everyone can thus tangibly participate in their region’s energy transition by investing in solar, wind or storage facilities and benefiting from their financial profitability.

Invest in real assets

Infrastructure investment in renewable energy projects is an asset class that offers stable revenue with little correlation to the macroeconomic situation. In France, for example, each renewable energy facility benefits from a Power Purchase Agreement – a contract covering the purchasing of the electricity produced by the plant – for a duration of over 20 years at a guaranteed price.

 
Through the AkuoCoop by Lendosphere crowdfunding portal, Akuo primarily provides an opportunity to invest in assets in their preconstruction phase and at the time of the project’s financial closure. At this stage, projects are released of any claims and possess a building permit, a power purchasing contract and a bank financing mandate.  Some operations also allow assets that are already operational to be refinanced, freeing up additional liquidity to improve existing infrastructures.

One of the Île-de-France region’s largest solar plants

With an output of 17MWp, this solar plant, located in Annet-sur-Marne (Seine-et-Marne) to the east of Paris, is installed on a former inert waste storage facility either side of TGV Est Européen train tracks. 

This project being one of the Île-de-France region’s first solar plants, AkuoCoop wanted to enable as many of the region’s residents as possible to participate in its financing. In total, over 2 million euros were thus raised from hundreds of investors – individuals and businesses – and five local authorities and institutions: the municipality of Annet-sur-Marne, Syndicat d’Energie de Seine-et-Marne (SDESM), Communauté de Commune Plaines et Monts de France and two local semi-public companies, SIP EnR and Île-de-France Energies

This shareholder structure, unique in France for this type of project, makes the Annet-Les Gabots plant a genuine regional initiative made possible and backed by local inhabitants and elected representatives.

Extension of the first floating solar farm in France

With an output of 5 MWp, the O’MEGA 1 bis extension to the O’MEGA 1 floating solar farm will take the plant’s total installed output to 22 MWp.

Public support for this extension was immediate. Indeed, the O’MEGA 1 project attracted numerous visits to the site by local inhabitants and businesses. The educational paths installed with the support of the Akuo Foundation also helped many children take ownership of this achievement and become its ambassadors. Naturally, the possibility provided to local inhabitants of participating in the financing of the second part of the project was a resounding success. Local companies wanted to join in too, given that this project allows them to further establish their support of local projects.

This positive momentum led to over 560,000 euros being collected from local investors.
