Action Energy Marketplace: Connecting Housing Projects with Energy Providers

Action Energy Marketplace, launched recently, is a platform that connects housing projects in Finland with energy providers. The marketplace has attracted about a hundred housing companies and property managers as buyers, and a hundred energy providers. In just a few months, the platform has facilitated the completion of projects worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Providers pay a flat monthly SaaS fee of 29 euros, generating about 3,000 euros in revenue per month. However, the platform's main focus is on raising a special purpose vehicle (SPV) of 10 to 15 million euros to fund larger projects. By signing contracts with housing units and providing the necessary financing, Action Energy Marketplace aims to profit from the cash flow generated by these projects.
