Energy democracy starts where the sunlight hits: on 55,000 German rooftops. 🌇Last week, Florian Fischer and David Zwilling joined the Energie Impulse GIGA.GREEN Dinner in Frankfurt.Our partner’s model embodies what we call infrastructure entrepreneurship: turning idle roof space into local power plants, creating value for owners, savings for tenants, and independence for our cities.

1️⃣ Low-Capex for owners: GIGA.GREEN plans, finances, builds, and operates, roof owners simply share in the yield on commercial properties.

2️⃣ Win for users: tenants like logistics firms or retailers get clean power straight from the roof, without grid fees or hassle.

3️⃣ Systemic leverage: every rooftop reduces our reliance on imported fossil energy and strengthens democratic resilience.

To keep supporting real assets with lasting climate impact, we’re not only partnering with GIGA.GREEN, but have also invested in VREY. They enable shared building energy in multi-tenant residential buildings, accelerating the energy transition across our cities’ full building stock.Thanks to the whole team, especially to Sebastian Schmidt and Wolfgang Röbig for the inspiring evening and open exchange. Let’s keep turning rooftops into power for people and our planet!
