Youdera raises Amundi investment for EUR 150 million clean energy plan

Youdera Group SA, headquartered at the EPFL Innovation Park in Lausanne, has announced the closing of a strategic investment by Amundi Energy Transition, the infrastructure arm of Amundi, Europe’s leading asset manager with EUR 2,380 billion in assets under management. The investment will support Youdera’s next phase of growth and a EUR 150 million deployment plan in distributed energy infrastructure for commercial and industrial customers across Europe.

Founded in 2015 by CEO Pedro Miranda, Youdera offers a one-stop model that combines holistic energy management with financed on-site infrastructure, allowing businesses to reduce grid dependence and advance electrification without upfront capital expenditure. The company develops, finances, owns, and operates integrated clean energy systems tailored to customer needs, spanning solar PV, battery storage, building envelope upgrades, and process electrification via heat pumps, bundled into Power Purchase Agreements or other energy services contracts. A proprietary digital platform manages the full project lifecycle, from origination and design through delivery, operations, and asset performance management, enabling distributed energy assets to perform with the reliability of a traditional utility.

The investment arrives at a moment of acute energy uncertainty for European businesses, where volatile power prices and shifting geopolitical dynamics have made energy resilience a strategic priority. Youdera’s zero-CAPEX model addresses this directly, enabling commercial and industrial customers to lock in lower, more predictable energy costs through local on-site generation without tying up capital in energy assets.

The company has delivered thousands of projects across its core markets in Switzerland, Spain, and Portugal, and sees significant opportunities to replicate its model selectively across broader European markets with similar fundamentals for distributed energy and electrification.
