Akuo Group announced the opening of a crowdfunding campaign for a portfolio of solar power plants in the Thessaly region of Greece. The group said this is the first operation presented on the Akuo Group’s new “AkuoCoop by Lendosphere” portal, which is in partnership with crowdfunding experts Lendosphere.
The initial sum of the campaign is €1 million, which is open to all.
The fundraising will enable European citizens who wish to contribute to the refinancing of the Thessaly solar farm in Greece.
The solar farm stretches across 8 hectares and has four photovoltaic power plants with a combined output of 4 MWp.
They generate 6.3GWh of power annually, the equivalent of the consumption of 570 households, thus preventing the emission of metric tons of CO2 every year. The four plants came online in 2023 and are currently all operational.
Participation in financing this portfolio is accessible online, from €100 upwards, after prior registration on the portal hosted by Lendosphere’s platform.

The campaign presented on this portal aims to facilitate the company’s renewable energy projects and support projects selected by the Akuo Foundation that have a social and environmental impact.
Éric Scotto, Chairman and co-founder of Akuo, said, “At the end of 2022, the Greek government announced its target of increasing the share of renewables in the country’s energy mix to 80% by 2030 in order to make Greece a pioneer within the EU! This commitment was the sign the renewable energy industry was waiting for to truly step up a gear.”
