Youdera Group Secures Strategic Investment From Amundi To Deploy €150 Million In Distributed Energy Infrastructure Across Europe For Commercial And Industrial Customers

Youdera Group SA has announced the closing of a strategic investment by Amundi Energy Transition (“Amundi”), aimed at supporting the company’s next phase of growth and a €150 million deployment plan in distributed energy infrastructure for commercial and industrial customers across Europe. This investment comes at a critical time for the European economy.

With geopolitical shifts and ongoing energy uncertainty, businesses are increasingly seeking solutions that enhance resilience, autonomy, and competitiveness. By providing local energy production and infrastructure, Youdera helps companies reduce their exposure to energy supply disruptions and volatile prices. This approach enables operational continuity while offering electricity at lower and more predictable costs compared to traditional grid supply.

Youdera’s approach focuses on local energy infrastructure upgrades without requiring upfront capital expenditure from customers. The company offers a one-stop solution that combines comprehensive energy management with financed on-site infrastructure. Youdera develops, finances, owns, and operates integrated solutions tailored to each customer’s needs, helping businesses reduce reliance on the grid, improve budget predictability, and support electrification initiatives without tying up capital in energy assets.

The company’s offerings go beyond solar photovoltaic (PV) systems to include battery storage, building envelope improvements, process electrification through heat pumps, and other measures that enhance efficiency, resilience, and long-term competitiveness. The scalable Youdera digital platform manages every aspect of the solution, from project origination and design to delivery, operations, and performance management. This ensures that distributed assets operate with the reliability and efficiency expected from a traditional utility.

Pedro Miranda, CEO and Co-Founder of Youdera, commented that European businesses need to act decisively in today’s volatile environment to remain competitive. He emphasized the importance of having a trusted energy partner capable of reducing cost and risk, bundling solutions across the energy value chain, and supporting electrification without upfront CAPEX. He described Amundi’s investment as a strong endorsement of Youdera’s model, providing an exceptional financial partner to scale the platform across Europe.

Claire Chabrier, Head of Direct Investments – Private Markets at Amundi, stated that the company is pleased to support Youdera at this stage of its development. She highlighted Youdera’s compelling platform at the intersection of decentralized infrastructure, electrification, and energy management. As commercial and industrial customers increasingly seek resilient and cost-effective energy solutions, Amundi believes Youdera is well positioned to meet this growing market demand.

While Youdera continues to focus on its core markets in Switzerland, Spain, and Portugal, the company sees broader opportunities across Europe. Its model can be replicated selectively in markets with similar customer requirements and strong fundamentals for distributed energy and electrification, enabling further growth and impact across the continent.
