👋 It's always encouraging to hear about the concrete, impactful results from the renewable energy projects we fund.

Here is a photo of a recently constructed solar system in a remote, hard-to-reach village in Sabah, eastern Malaysia. It now powers a hybrid mini-grid system, ensuring a clean, reliable power supply to the village's families.

During a recent meeting in the village, the connected families agreed on the fees for electricity use and on how to use the payments for the operation, maintenance, and long-term benefit of the community. The session concluded with the signing of the Community Meter Installation and Electricity Supply Agreement, marking another important milestone toward community-led energy governance and ownership.

For more information about the projects we support in Sabah, Malaysia, see also our newly published interview with Adrian Banie Lasimbang and Alice Jipius from the Sabah-based NGO Tonibung. You can find it via the news section on our website!

🐜 Today is World Biodiversity Day!

To overcome the climate crisis, we not only need to stop using fossil fuels, but also should do much more to protect and restore nature. Healthy ecosystems can capture a lot of carbon and have the potential to buffer us against many of the impacts of global warming.

🔧 We received more photos from a solar project we're funding in Nigeria.

In 2025, we granted €58,500 from our Climate Fund to the nigerian NGO @creaccng (Centre for Renewable Energy and Action on Climate Change) to establish solar-powered water kiosks and charging stations in three hard-to-reach, off-grid villages.

It's great to see the concrete results and read about the life-changing impacts for the people in the involved villages.

Thank you, CREACC, for the careful preparation and implementation! And also for the regular updates and photos! Keep up the great work!

For anyone here on Instagram who wants to support more solar projects like this, consider switching to EKOenergy-labelled energy or contact us to make additional donations for such projects.

🤝 Another edition in our Energy Beyond Borders ser

🤝 Another edition in our Energy Beyond Borders series! This time, we are zooming in on Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 17: Partnerships for Sustainable Development.

EKOenergy illustrates each day that by partnering and pooling our resources, strengths, and skills, we can achieve more. Take, for example, a look at the activities of our Climate Fund.

In our Climate Fund, we bring together financial contributions from 1000s of EKOenergy users worldwide and use these to fund impactful solar projects in disadvantaged communities. Through calls for projects and a selection process based on strict criteria, we identify high-impact solar projects, led by experienced and dedicated non-profit organisations and implemented in close cooperation with local communities. The most promising projects get grants.

This approach makes it possible to move from words to deeds and results in outcomes that improve the lives of many, create new opportunities, and contribute to the realisation of many Sustainable Development Goals, including, for example, SDG 5 (gender equality) and SDG 6 (Clean water and sanitation)

In isolation, promoting sustainable energy for all is difficult. But when donors, non-profit organisations, local experts, and many more, combine strengths, the results are impactful and life-changing!

If this sounds attractive, consider becoming an EKOenergy user or contact us to learn more.

💧 Last month, we announced eight new Climate Fund grants for solar projects across three continents.

One of these is a €59,998 grant to support a solar-powered water project in eastern Zimbabwe. @suomenlahetysseura and its local partners will install six solar-powered water pumps, each serving approximately 400 households. This will significantly reduce the incidence of waterborne diseases and improve agricultural productivity through consistent irrigation, enhancing food security and supporting livelihoods. The project will also empower community members, particularly women and youth, by providing training on solar system maintenance and repair, generating new income opportunities, and promoting skill development.

We wish all those involved a smooth implementation, and we look forward to the first updates.

📣 Here we are again, reminding our decision-makers

📣 Here we are again, reminding our decision-makers that climate change is a threat to everything we know and love.

Over the past few days, meteorologists warned that a super El Niño is increasingly likely later this year. El Niño is a global climate phenomenon that arises from variations in winds and sea surface temperatures in the tropical Pacific Ocean. The phenomenon affects weather conditions worldwide. While the phenomenon is nothing new, its impacts are increasingly extreme and unpredictable due to global warming.

Scientists are pretty sure we will see a record surge in global temperatures during this year's El Niño: a lot of equatorial Pacific Ocean heat will be released into the atmosphere, and drier conditions in many parts of the globe will allow plentiful sunshine to heat the surface.

The continuous breaking of temperature records around the world should ring every alarm bell. The solutions are known, but we need so much more decisiveness to implement them.

👋 Two of our European Solidarity Corps volunteers, EKO-Nadja and EKO-Paulo send their greetings from Lohja, Finland. They are participating in the 3-day mid-term training event, exchanging experiences with other European Solidarity Corps volunteers in Finland.

We are not sure which parts of the photo are real and which are photoshopped, but it's nice that they keep EKOenergy in mind!

Enjoy the time in Lohja, and see you soon!
