Invesdor, one of the oldest securities crowdfunding platforms in Europe, says it has funded the largest sustainability securities online offering in Europe.
According to the platform, the Fryslân wind farm in the Netherlands raised €6 million in just one day. The securities offering went on to raise approximately €27 million. Invesdor adds the caveat that since the maximum amount of bonds available was € 10 million, the financing volume was capped at this amount. Investors receive a return of 7.5% interest annually over a term of five years.
The Windpark Fryslân in the Frisian part of the Ijsselmeer is said to be the largest wind farm in an inland waterway in the world with 89 wind turbines. The project boasts an annual electricity production of 1.5 terawatt hours. Fryslân covers the electricity needs of 500,000 households or 1.2% of the Netherlands’ total electricity demand.
Christopher Grätz, CEO of the Invesdor Group, said there was huge interest in the project and the funding round.
“With crowdfunding via Invesdor, we enable local citizens to invest profitably even with small amounts. This contributes greatly to the acceptance of such projects.”
Wendy Hoogeboom, the project Communication Advisor, says the securities offering on Invesdor has added great value for the project’s target group.
Invesdor, founded in Finland, merged operations with Oneplanetcrowd, a green-focused platform, in the Netherlands in 2022. Invesdor seeks to be the top securities crowdfunding platform in Europe. Invesdor currently has offices in Berlin, Amsterdam, Vienna and Helsinki. The Invesdor Group was formed by the merger of Finnest, Invesdor and Kapilendo.
Invesdor launched its 1000th financing round for RiverRecycle Oy. The Finnish environmental company develops financially sustainable solutions to plastic waste in the oceans and currently collects more than 3000 tonnes of waste per year from rivers in the Philippines, Indonesia, India, Bangladesh, and Ghana.
Grätz said reaching the 1000th funding project is a testament to their successful commitment to driving positive change and innovation.
“”We look forward to further expanding our presence in Europe and bringing even more innovative and sustainable businesses onto our platform to create impactful change across Europe. We are committed to further enhancing our platform to offer our investors an even wider range of investment opportunities and make them easily tradable in the future.”
