The company Energred Power Plant S.r.l. requires a minimum financing of €100.000 (with a maximum of €400.000) for the revamping of three mini-hydroelectric power plants with a total nominal power of 328 kWp located in Castelfiorentino in the province of Florence.
The revamping intervention at the three power plants involves operations to optimize the production capacity of the facilities through extraordinary maintenance work that allows for proper automatic cleaning of the plants, specifically:
• Construction site preparation
• Configuration of straight and oblique "rake" grates
• Replacement of two-way hydraulic rakes
• Insertion of a double level sensor
Thanks to these interventions, the three power plants will be freed from the current three problems of "compactor effect of the rake", "rake torsion", and "difficulty in managing the opening of the machine related to the water level". These problems, due to the accumulation of non-homogeneous debris caused by improper cleaning of the tanks, block the correct flow of water, shutting down the plants and not producing the necessary energy due to abnormal operation.
The revamping will allow for proper automatic cleaning during times of low water flow, thus increasing production capacity by optimizing the original structure without the need for significant and invasive restoration interventions.
The CAPEX for the interventions is expected to be a total of €150.000 per plant, including design, purchase of necessary materials and machinery, interventions and installation.
Thanks to the revamping works carried out by Energred at the three plants, it will be possible to increase the productivity of the plants and restore the peak power to a total estimated post-intervention of €1.000.000 per year for the three plants, with revenues around €210.000.
As an ESCo contracting company, Energred has a signed contract and will receive a fee for the work carried out on the plants, thanks to agreements made with the owner of the plants.
All three plants benefit from FER X incentives and conventions.
ENERSCORE+ & INTEGRATED EASYSCORE EXPERT
Ener2Crowd provides a first qualitative parameter called "EnerScore+" that is assigned to each investment proposal. This parameter defines a SCORING that objectively, comprehensively, and understandably summarizes all the data that characterize the project from a technical point of view, including an ESG evaluation expressed in CLASSES, and a verification of activated SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals).
A specific Financial Rating called "Integrated EasyScore Expert" is expressed, resulting from the credit analysis carried out by EasyFintech, in which the reliability and creditworthiness of the Project Company are verified. EasyFintech S.r.l. is a company that carries out activities as a dealer of commercial information with License art. 134 TULPS Prefecture of Milan prot. n. 14795/12B15E dated 31/01/2020.
In the case of the Project proposed by Energred Power Plant S.r.l., the resulting EnerScore+ is 9.19, so an ENERSCORE+ BBB is assigned, while the Integrated EasyScore Expert is at level 5 - MODERATE SOLVENCY.

In recent months, the global socio-economic context has led to a sharp increase in inflation, which is the prolonged increase in the average level of prices for goods and services. As a result, the ECB has predicted an increase in mortgage and financing rates in order to preserve consumers' purchasing power. The increase in central rates is a macroeconomic policy to counter inflation. The objective of raising rates is to reduce purchasing power by reducing available liquidity for both individuals and companies, to slow down the economy and prevent a continuous uncontrolled rise in prices. In June 2024, after 5 years, the ECB made an initial rate cut of 0,25 percentage points, followed by another 0,25 points in September, based on macroeconomic estimates, opening up new scenarios in the financial market.
INDEXING TO EURIRS AND EURIBOR INDICES
Just as banks define the interest rate applied to loans, in this case, the interest rate is linked to the EURIRS index (in the case of a fixed rate) and the EURIBOR index (in the case of a variable rate).
The location of the three interventions takes place at the same river located in Castelfiorentino in the Province of Florence.
Energred Power Plant S.r.l. is one of the Vehicle Companies of EnergRed that will be responsible for the revamping works of the three plants along the same river course located in Castelfiorentino in the Province of Florence.

The analysis of the Company that aims to collect funding is the result of the Report provided by EasyFintech S.r.l. - License art. 134 TULPS Prefecture of Milan prot. n. 14795/12B15E of 31/01/2020 - based on data bank calculators available such as Crif, CriBis, CeBi, Cerved, Dun & Bradstreet, InfoCamere and other financial scoring tools that combine traditional analysis (economic-financial, trend, reputational) with statistical methodologies based on Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Data Analysis.
ENERGRED POWER PLANT S.r.l. is a recently established special purpose vehicle (12/04/2021) that primarily provides high-tech consultancy services in the energy sector, development, production, and management of innovative software, etc. The company is 100% controlled by Energred SDG S.r.l., whose ownership and control are 100% held by Energred D&C S.r.l., which has issued the Autonomous Guarantee. Both Energred SDG S.r.l. and Energred D&C S.r.l. have the same representatives as Energred Power Plant S.r.l.The Directors of the Company are Moreno Scarchini and Andrea Sbordoni, with no previous negatives recorded.
Given the nature of the special purpose vehicle activity of ENERGRED POWER PLANT S.R.L., the analysis was conducted on the controlling company of Energred SDG S.r.l. - ENERGRED D&C S.R.L., also due to the fact that it issues the Autonomous Guarantee for the financing operation.
The analysis methodology used involves calculating a synthetic risk indicator, called Easyscore Integrato (Integrated Easyscore) by EasyFintech S.r.l., obtained through a proprietary algorithm that integrates and synthesizes three partial scores (Easyscore Expert, CeBi Score 4, and CR Score). EasyFintech's Integrated Easyscore places the company in an area corresponding to a “Moderate Solvency” judgment.
Below is a summary of the analysis of the other partial scores:
• Cribis D&B Rating: evaluates the financial solvency and commercial reliability of the company through the calculation of the Cribis d&b Rating (Failure score, Delinquency score, Paydex Cribis d&b, negative events). Energred D&C S.r.l. was assigned a Cribis rating of “3” with a "higher than average cessation risk";
• CeBi Score 4: CeBi calculations provide the calculation of PD – Probability Default using a certified algorithm for the banking world, within the scoring models and internal rating systems (Internal Rating Based) used by Italian Credit Institutions. The scores evaluate the economic-financial solidity of the company, placed in its current and prospective economic system. The analysis of the financial statements as of 31-12-2023 in terms of insolvency risk classifies the company in class V1, corresponding to a Solvency situation with a PD of 0.32%. This class includes 24.22% of the companies belonging to the HOLDING ACTIVITIES sector.
• CR Score: provides a synthetic judgment on the ways in which credit lines granted by the banking system have been used, as reported in the Central Credit Register of the Bank of Italy. The Score related to the Central Credit Register of the Bank of Italy is calculated over a 12-month period. This value is reserved as it is not a public data, and it can be stated that the Company does not have any active credit lines. The above analyses, synthesized in EasyFintech's Integrated Easyscore, place Energred D&C S.r.l. in an area of “Moderate Solvency”.
CONCLUSIONS
Energred Power Plant S.r.l. has already presented three operations on the Portal, one of which has already been concluded and successfully repaid with capital and interest to investors. The borrowing company Power Plant mainly carries out SPV activities to carry out works and projects, and therefore does not have particularly relevant financial statements. For this reason, the analysis was carried out on the Controlling Company of Energred SDG S.r.l. - Energred D&C S.r.l., which issued the Autonomous Guarantee for the financed operation, as part of the Energred Group - as mentioned above. As per the Visura, a pledge on shares is present on Energred Power Plant S.r.l., a necessary and ordinary measure for this type of operation carried out by funds with which Energred has been working for several years with a relationship of fruitful and mutual collaboration based on the numbers developed by the Company to cover the orders for the numerous and significant works typical of the ESCO sector.
It should be noted that the above indications are only a reference for making an informed choice based on one's investment capabilities, and it is always recommended to analytically evaluate the available elements.
The Financing Agreement is a purpose loan: Energred Power Plant S.r.l. undertakes to use the funds received from Investors exactly as specified in the Project outlined in the public offer and not to divert them for other purposes.
There is also an Autonomous Guarantee provided by Energred D&C S.r.l.
The estimated cost for the revamping interventions is a total of €450,000 (€150,000 for the 3 plants). The minimum target for the collection on Ener2Crowd will cover 22% of the Capex, while the maximum target will cover 88% of the total.
The crowdfunding campaign is a bridge loan that serves the company to anticipate the resources needed for the realization of the interventions, which will then be managed through agreements with financial institutions for a period more in line with the projects' business plans. The remaining liquidity is raised through company funds.
The amortization plan provides for the repayment of the Capital only in the final installment. There are quarterly installments with only the Interest Portion equal to €9.500,00.
The following amortization plan for Energred Power Plant S.r.l. is calculated with an interest rate of 9,50% for a total of €400.000.
N.B.: The amortization plan starts from the last day of the month after the terms of the release have expired, therefore the table shown here is a mere simulation containing the first available date in case the campaign is finalized at its expiration date.

A hydroelectric plant transforms the force of water into renewable energy for everyday life. When water is released through the turbines, its kinetic energy is converted into mechanical energy, which in turn powers generators to produce electricity. Hydroelectric energy is a 100% clean and sustainable source, as its production does not emit greenhouse gases and does not produce harmful waste, because the water released into nature after passing through the turbines undergoes no alteration.
It is estimated that mini-hydroelectric plants, thanks to revamping interventions, will have a total average annual production capacity of 2.868 MWh per year, which is equivalent to:
Saving 1.233.240 kg of CO2 in the atmosphere every year
Planting 123.324 trees, enough to cover an area of 629 soccer fields
Avoiding the emissions of exhaust gases from 862 cars every year
