๐ก Want to earn money while saving the planet? ๐ Discover how Fundeen is transforming the clean energy landscape by empowering citizens to invest in renewable energy projects โ and earn returns! ๐๐
Have you ever wondered how you could join the green energy revolution and directly benefit from it? ๐๐ฐ If so, you’re in the right place! โจ
In today’s story, we’ll dive into how communities across Spain—and even beyond—are not just dreaming of a greener world but actively building it, one solar panel at a time. ๐๐ง And guess what? They're making money while doing it! ๐ธ๐ฑ
Imagine there was a tool that allows people in your neighborhood to co-finance renewable energy projects—whether it's a solar plant on a factory rooftop or a community-scale energy farm—and own part of the project or earn fixed returns. ๐๏ธ๐ That tool isn’t futuristic. It’s called crowdfunding, and it's revolutionizing how communities generate, own, and benefit from clean energy. ๐๐ก
One platform at the heart of this transformation is Fundeen, based in Spain. ๐ช๐ธ Founded in 2017 by two engineers with deep experience in the energy sector, Fundeen was created with one clear mission: to bridge the gap between everyday people and sustainable energy. ๐โก It removes the traditional financial and technical barriers, opening the doors for anyone—yes, anyone over 18 with a Spanish NIE—to invest in green energy from as little as €500. ๐ง๐ผ๐
Fundeen specializes in medium-scale clean energy projects, primarily in Spain, but also in countries like France ๐ซ๐ท and Mexico ๐ฒ๐ฝ. Investors can choose between two models: ๐ช๐ผ
Both paths are regulated by Spain’s financial authorities, ensuring strong investor protection. ๐ก๏ธ๐๏ธ
What sets Fundeen apart is the rigor of its project selection. โ Only 3% of submitted proposals are approved. Each project must demonstrate serious commitment and viability—developers must contribute at least 20% of their own capital, and all key contracts, such as land leases, permits, and grid connections, must be in place. ๐๐๏ธ The financial plans must show resilience, with a minimum debt service coverage ratio of 1.2, and everything is double-checked by independent legal and engineering experts. ๐งพ๐ This is not casual investing—it’s structured, professional financing for the future. ๐๏ธ๐
The impact is already visible. Communities have raised over €19 million through Fundeen, supporting 30 renewable projects and sharing in more than €2 million in profits. ๐๐ In Palma de Mallorca, for example, a community co-funded a 7.9-megawatt solar plant, complete with 6.4 megawatt-hours of storage, pooling nearly €1.83 million from just 254 citizens. โ๏ธ๐ In Mexico, investors backed 17 industrial solar systems with an average return of 9.5%. ๐ In Spain, one of the continent’s largest solar parks—Carril Solar—was partly funded by locals who now enjoy a 5.5% annual return. ๐๐ธ Another project, Nuevo Zuera, saw over 300 people come together to raise €1.25 million and secure a 6.1% return while powering hundreds of homes. ๐๏ธโก
This is more than an investment—it’s empowerment. ๐ช Through Fundeen, communities can partially or fully finance energy infrastructure that powers thousands of homes. ๐ ๐ They can turn empty land into solar fields, create local jobs, and lower carbon emissions, all while generating financial returns. ๐ฟ๐ In essence, they are reclaiming ownership of their energy future. ๐๐
And this is just the beginning. ๐ฎ Fundeen even offers a Marketplace where investors can resell their shares, adding liquidity to what has traditionally been a long-term, static investment field. ๐๐น With projects offering annual returns between 7% and 9%, and terms ranging from two to ten years, the platform offers a solid alternative to more volatile markets. ๐๐
So, why wait for governments or corporations to lead the way? ๐๏ธ๐ข With platforms like Fundeen, you can act now. โณ๐ถโ๏ธ You can invest in the infrastructure of tomorrow, today. ๐ ๏ธ๐ You can be part of a movement that’s not just about reducing emissions—but about building local wealth, creating energy independence, and driving real, tangible change. ๐ผ๐ฅ
๐ฟ๐ช Join the energy transition. Not as a spectator—but as an owner. ๐ฅ๐
