Energy transition needs participation — otherwise it stays an investor story.
Our mission is to make local value creation from renewables possible for communities and climate — through participatory finance.
How EN2RE came about
Origin
Faroe Islands & Caribbean
On islands it became clear: renewable energy must not only be generated locally but also financed locally so capital does not flow away.
2012+
Bringing it to Germany
Employee, citizen and community participations for energy projects in the German Mittelstand and municipalities.
2025
Utility aha-moment
In a conversation with a Rhineland utility: the platform also fits contracting models and scales as white label.
2026
White-label launch
EN2RE as a turnkey participation platform for utilities, EPCs and manufacturers.
Dr.-Ing. Michael Knopp
PhD, in the renewables sector since 2012. Helped build island energy systems in the Faroe Islands and the Caribbean where local value creation was not a marketing word but an existential question.
LinkedIn profile„With EN2RE we built infrastructure that turns utilities and manufacturers from mere suppliers into enablers of the local energy transition. Our white-label platform converts capital needs into real customer loyalty and makes sure green projects no longer fail at financing but grow through shared investment."
What matters to us
Local value creation
over profit maximisation. The region should benefit from its own energy projects.
Real participation
instead of marketing theatre. Participation must pay off tangibly for the investor — financially and as identity.
Technology that works
as a given. Investors should think about the energy, not the platform.
