Energy Shift, the climate-fintech platform enabling citizens to jointly invest in and co-own renewable energy projects, officially announced its launch in Albania—marking a major step toward democratizing clean energy ownership across Southeast Europe.

Already trusted by more than 2,000 users who have collectively committed over €25 million toward renewable energy investments, Energy Shift is entering Albania with a mission to transform citizens from energy consumers into energy owners.

Through its digital platform, individuals can participate in professionally structured solar and renewable energy projects, starting with accessible investment amounts and full transparency around ownership, impact, and returns.

Albania, with some of Europe’s strongest solar irradiation and growing energy demand, presents a unique opportunity to accelerate community-owned renewable infrastructure.

“Energy independence is not only about producing clean power. It is about who owns it,” said Filip Koprcina, Founder and CEO of Energy Shift. “Albania has extraordinary renewable potential, but the next step is making sure citizens can participate financially in that transition—not just pay for it.”

Energy Shift plans to work with municipalities, commercial real estate owners, developers, and local communities to unlock citizen-financed renewable projects across Albania.

The launch also opens opportunities for strategic partnerships with major Albanian institutions, developers, educational institutions, and retail destinations including Tirana East Gate.

Founder Quote

“For decades, energy infrastructure was owned by governments, utilities, and institutions. We believe the next generation of energy infrastructure should be owned by people.”
