Common Questions

Questions about
our fee structure.

Can't find what you're looking for? Book a consultation and we'll answer any questions about fees, access, and how the platform works.

When exactly is the success fee charged?
The success fee is charged only when a financing round closes and funds are transferred. It is deducted directly from the gross proceeds before disbursement to the project developer. If a raise does not reach its target or close, no fee is charged. All fee arrangements are agreed in writing as part of the listing agreement before any raise commences.
Do investors pay any fees at all?
Investors pay no transaction fees on primary market deals. This is standard practice across institutional platforms including Enerfip and Republic. Platform subscription tiers (Professional, Institutional, Enterprise) are available for investors who want advanced analytics, API access, and dedicated support — but these are optional and not required to invest. Secondary market fees of 0.5% per side will apply when that feature launches with mainnet.
Why are fees listed as "starting from"?
Every project and transaction is different. A $5M development-stage solar project in one jurisdiction requires different structuring, compliance work, and due diligence than a $100M multi-country offshore wind portfolio. Fees reflect the actual complexity and work involved. "Starting from" protects you from overpaying on simpler transactions while ensuring we can properly serve complex ones. All final fees are agreed in writing before any work begins.
Are advisory services included in platform subscription tiers?
Platform subscriptions cover access to the platform, analytics, tooling, and support. Full advisory services — project structuring, compliance documentation, due diligence reports, and regulatory retainers — are separate engagements priced per project or per month. Enterprise tier subscribers receive strategic advisory as part of their arrangement. If you're unsure what you need, book a consultation and we'll recommend the right combination.
What currencies do you accept for subscription payments?
Platform subscriptions are priced in GBP as our primary currency given our London registration. USD and EUR billing is available on request for Professional tier and above. Enterprise subscriptions can be structured in the currency of your choice. All advisory service fees can be invoiced in GBP, USD, EUR, or AED depending on your jurisdiction and preference.
Is there a minimum project size to list on W3 Energy?
We focus on projects raising a minimum of $5M. This threshold ensures the economics of due diligence, structuring, and compliance work are proportionate for both parties. Projects below this threshold may still be considered on a case-by-case basis — particularly where they are part of a larger portfolio raise or have exceptional strategic value. Submit your project via our application form and our team will assess eligibility.
