AVALYAvaly’s journey is driven by a deep conviction that involving communities at the core of renewable energy projects is non-negotiable for a successful energy transition.
Avaly’s vision? A future where local communities aren't just bystanders but powerful allies in realizing a fully renewable world.
Our mission is to empower those at the forefront of the energy transition with a tool that navigates the intricate and complex world of public sentiment. That way, projects might not just cross the finish line but become a source of local pride, community engagement and progress.
How does that work?
By creating a groundbreaking '360° Acceptance Navigator' for renewable energy projects which harnesses evidence-based, data-driven and locally customized insights to predict the most likely obstacles to project acceptance, recommend strategies for securing local support and monitor acceptance throughout the entire project. Clients will be able to engage with the Navigator through a web application.
If you're interested in joining, reach out. I am on the lookout for a fellow co-founder:

Customer Problem
The energy transition is too slow: The current built out rate of renewable energy falls short of German capacity targets (EEG-2023). If we continue on the current trajectory, the cumulative gross capacity of onshore wind energy will be ~20% too low over the next decade and even more for offshore wind.
Last year, the Bund-Länder-Kooperationsausschuss identified the lack of local acceptance as one of the top three obstacles for onshore wind energy projects in Germany.
Acceptance - or rather the lack of it - matters: It delays projects, increases costs, leads to extra work and hampers climate progress.
Business Model
Subscription-based (SaaS) with three tiersTechnology Description
We will combine data insights, empirical evidence and powerful technologies.
Avaly will employ system dynamics modelling approaches, machine learning and data assimilation methods to virtually simulate the affected community and forecast its reaction to the project as well as the underlying factors driving this reaction.Market Description
Though Avaly is part of the SaaS market, the target market is the renewable energy market.
The renewable energy market is experiencing strong growth both globally, with an expected CAG rate of 9-10% by 2035, and in Germany. According to McKinsey&Company, the transition to renewable energies is gaining pace worldwide, with solar and wind energy expected to account for the largest share of the global energy mix by 2040 and total investments in the energy sector rising to USD 3.2 trillion.
This trend can also be observed in Germany, with a continuous increase in installed capacity and renewable energy generation. In 2023, the RE share of electricity consumption rose above 50% for the first time. The German government plans to generate 80% of German electricity from renewable energies by 2030 and "almost" 100% by 2035 (Drucksacke 20/1630).1 In order to also meet the increasing demand for electrification in the heating and transport sectors, renewable electricity generation is set to rise from the current 251 TWh to around 600 TWh over the next six years.
According to the expansion targets of the EEG-2023, the output of onshore wind is to be roughly doubled by 2030, solar PV almost tripled and offshore wind nearly quadrupled. This means that the annual expansion from 2025 compared to 2023 must be increased by a factor of one and a half for solar PV, around three times for onshore wind and more than ten times for offshore wind.USP
