POWER PARITY S.A.

Their core work

GoParity is a Portuguese crowdfunding and sustainable investment platform that channels citizen capital into energy efficiency and renewable energy projects. They specialize in designing Project Development Assistance (PDA) methodologies that bundle small-scale energy investments — public buildings, solar PV, solar thermal, street lighting — into bankable portfolios attractive to private and citizen investors. Their core business sits at the intersection of fintech and clean energy, making them a bridge between public energy goals and private financing mechanisms.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

GoParity's early work (2018–2019) centered on broad renewable energy business models, crowdfunding mechanisms, and social science dimensions of citizen participation. By 2021, their focus sharpened significantly toward concrete, implementation-ready PDA methodologies — bundling solar PV, solar thermal, and public lighting projects with specific attention to Portuguese regulatory requirements. The shift is from exploring "how citizens could finance energy" to operationalizing "how to package and deliver bundled energy investments at scale."

GoParity is moving from conceptual citizen financing research toward market-ready investment aggregation tools, positioning them as an operational partner for scaling small-scale energy projects across Southern Europe.

How they like to work

GoParity splits evenly between leading and joining — coordinating their flagship BundleUP projects while contributing financing expertise to broader initiatives like SocialRES and CitizEE. With 28 unique partners across 11 countries from just 4 projects, they operate in mid-to-large consortia and build wide networks rather than returning to the same partners. This makes them accessible and experienced in multi-country coordination, though they are still building long-term repeat relationships.

GoParity has built a network of 28 partners across 11 countries through just 4 projects, indicating they consistently join diverse, pan-European consortia. Their network likely spans Southern and Western Europe given their Portuguese base and energy efficiency focus.

What sets them apart

GoParity brings something rare to EU energy consortia: they are not a research lab or consultancy, but an actual fintech platform that moves citizen money into energy projects. This means they can test financing models in real market conditions, not just simulate them. For consortium builders, they offer a credible "market validation" partner who can demonstrate whether a proposed energy investment scheme actually attracts capital.

Highlights from their portfolio

• BundleUP NEXT
  Their largest funded project (EUR 405K) as coordinator, representing a direct scale-up of BundleUP — rare continuity showing the EU trusted their methodology enough to fund a sequel.
• SocialRES
  Positioned GoParity within a broader social innovation network exploring cooperative and aggregator models for renewable energy, expanding their expertise beyond pure financing.
