Goal
the municipality of Križevci started the first pilot project in Croatia for citizens crowd investing in renewable energies, aiming at the installation of a solar panel (PV) power plant on the rooftop of the municipality’s Development Center and Technology Park’s administrative building. This initiative was led by the Green Energy Cooperative ZEZ with its partners: the municipality of Križevci, Regional Energy Agency North, Greenpeace Croatia, Solvis and ACT Group.
Green Energy Cooperative provides solar equipment for lease to the Križevci Business Centre, the owner of the building, for 10 years. All investors signed a loan agreement with the Cooperative for 6 years, for which an annual interest on accrued funds is foreseen.
