Startups for a sustainable economy
One hundred energy
Many tenants in Germany would like to use solar power, but do not have their own house where they can install a system. This is where the Cologne-based startup Einhundert Energie comes in: It wants to ensure easily accessible solar power in apartment buildings too. To do this, real estate companies lease their roofs to Einhundert Energie, meaning the owners do not have to worry about installing solar systems themselves. Einhundert Energie is responsible for financing, planning and building the systems as well as marketing the electricity. In October 2023, the largest tenant electricity project to date started in Cologne with 800 tenants. CO2 savings of 500 tons per year are expected there. Einhundert Energie is therefore one of the pioneers in tenant electricity worldwide.
