EDF Pulse & You offers to support projects for the energy transition through crowdfunding

The portal is accessible from the EDF Pulse & You platform

Nearly 85 billion euros are now accumulated by the French on their current accounts and their various savings accounts. Indeed, health measures have largely slowed down consumption habits and forced individuals to save.

In addition, in recent years, crowdfunding projects have aroused strong consumer interest, in particular on humanitarian, solidarity and environmental issues. Based on this observation, EDF Pulse & You offers everyone the opportunity to invest in innovative projects via a platform accessible to all, educational and engaging for the energy transition.

Since 2016, EDF has opened the financing of its projects, in favor of the development of renewable energies, to individuals. With this new portal, the objective is to make the projects in France and their challenges known to as many people as possible. The projects offered for subscription on the portal are both led by EDF and its deregulated subsidiaries in the fields: solar, wind and energy transition. They are local in order to promote proximity with investors.

The offer, EDF Pulse & You Participatory Investments, is therefore aimed at individuals, already investors or not, with the possibility of subscribing to small amounts, in order to give everyone the opportunity to invest at any scale in projects that make sense.

EDF Pulse & You's participatory investment platform is:

• A way to act for the energy transition
• A local, concrete project targeted by independent crowdfunding organizations
• Attractive compensation with limited risk
• An investment accessible to all budgets
• Easy access to investments

The challenge addressed by the participatory investment portal of EDF Pulse & You is the influence of the principle of crowdfunding, by making it both accessible and beneficial for everyone.

Through this platform, EDF Pulse & You is committed to investing in projects responding to current ecological and environmental issues.
