Citizenergy features crowdfunding platforms – 33 – and energy cooperatives with a focus on getting the public involved in sustainable energy projects. The motivation was to promote the decentralised and democratic financing of a better energy future.
Citizenergy, made possible by European Union funding, is the first platform to encourage cross-border investment in sustainable energy and the first to provide information on sustainable energy opportunities from both crowdfunding platforms and cooperatives. It reinforces the work of such organisations in financing renewable and energy efficiency projects, increasing their reach while promoting transparency.
