☀️ The solar farm in Thessaly, Greece ☀️
Located near the city of Larissa in the region of Thessaly, Greece, the solar farm spans 8 hectares and consists of four photovoltaic plants (Tsairia, Zappeio 1024, Zappeio 1008, and Foniades) with a total capacity of 4 MWp. These four plants are equipped with bifacial solar panels that have enhanced efficiency, capable of generating up to 30% more energy compared to standard panels.
All four plants were commissioned in 2023 and are currently operational.
The Thessaly solar farm sells electricity directly on the energy market. To facilitate this, it leverages the expertise of GEARS, Akuo's aggregator operating in Greece, which sells electricity directly through the Greek energy exchange - demonstrating the increasing maturity of the photovoltaic sector at the national level.
💡 Akuo in Greece
After opening an office in Greece in 2018, Akuo launched its first project called "Chalki" in the country in October 2021, followed by a second project in February 2023. Akuo is actively contributing to the Greek government's National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan (NECP), which aims to increase the share of renewable energy (RE) to over 80% in its energy mix by 2030.
The Thessaly solar farm represents the initial phase of a larger program of projects that Akuo is currently developing in collaboration with the region. The finalisation of these projects is expected to lead to the construction of solar parks with a total capacity of 500 MW in the coming years, pending financing.
ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS
❇️ The Thessaly solar farm consists of 4 plants, with a total capacity of 4 MW, that will produce 6.3 GWh annually, which is the equivalent to the consumption of 570 households. This will prevent the emission of 2100 tons of CO2 each year during operation.
Annual production per solar plant:
■ Tsairia : 1 577 MWh/year
■ Zappeio 1024 : 1 569 MWh/year
■ Zappeio 1008 : 1 578 MWh/year
■ Foniades : 1 576 MWh/year
INVESTMENT TERMS
This campaign aims to refinance the equity and quasi-equity funds provided by Akuo Energy SAS to the Greek company Thessaly Energy Solar SA for the development and construction of four photovoltaic plants located in Thessaly, Greece. The entire development and construction costs of these plants have been financed by the Akuo group.
❇️ Borrowing company
Through this campaign, funding is provided to the French entity Akuo Energy SAS, the parent company of the Akuo group, which directly or indirectly holds the portfolio of assets in operation and under development of the Group. The funds will be allocated to the Greek project company, Thessaly Energy Solar SA, through the establishment of one or more intra-group loans between Akuo Energy SAS, its subsidiaries, and the project company.
Investors will be partially reimbursed through the revenues generated by the plants, as well as through refinancing at the end of the crowdfunding investment period. The plants, which started producing electricity in 2023, are currently all operational. The estimated cumulative annual production of the plants is 6.3 GWh, with projected annual operating cash flows during the investment period ranging between €273k and €384k.
❇️ Security measures for this financing
To secure investors, a first-ranking pledge has been established covering all securities of the project company, Thessaly Energy Solar SA.

Co-Founder and CEO of Akuo
By the end of 2022, the Greek government announced its goal to increase the part of renewable energies to 80% in the national energy mix by 2030, aiming to make Greece a pioneer within the EU! This commitment is the sign that the renewable energy industry has been waiting for to truly accelerate. In this context, Akuo aims to involve as many citizens as possible in these projects, which should benefit everyone in all aspects..
