Yesterday our mail contained an advertisement for a company called Brusol, that seems to have exactly the same financing model of the Messina crowd.
It has an additional precious info:
La Région de Bruxelles-Capitale octroie des certificats verts (CV) pour le courant ainsi généré. […] L’Europe imposera une amende à la Région de Bruxelles-Capitale si elle n’atteint pas les objectifs climatiques de 2020.
So, this is a kind of impact bond. The region will have to pay up if it does not meet its goals. By giving away energy for free, it is still making a gain as long as the cost of the free energy is lower than the fine. This is a mechanism we can exploit for the new Reef.
