E.ON

German utility E.ON has entered into a partnership with greenXmoney to set up an online platform that allows making investments in German solar and wind power facilities “easily, securely and independently of any particular bank”, the company announced in a press release. Owners of solar and wind power facilities register their units, and investors can acquire a portion of the future electricity revenues generated by the solar or wind power system they choose. Customers can resell their investments at any time, writes E.ON.
