One of the ways EKOenergy ensures additional positive impact is through our Climate Fund. Thanks to users of EKOenergy-labelled energy, we finance clean energy projects that would not have happened otherwise.
For each MWh of EKOenergy-labelled energy, 0.10 € (ten cents) go to the Climate Fund.
We don’t set up our own projects, but finance projects implemented by experienced organisations.
All projects focus on alleviating energy poverty and contribute to the realisation of multiple UN Sustainable Development Goals.
The projects are selected through a transparent and open process. Experts, as well as authorised sellers and energy consumers, are involved in the selection process. The final decision is made by EKOenergy’s Board.
The selection criteria include: the involvement of local organisations/NGOs, the impact in terms of installed capacity and number of beneficiaries, the long-term viability of the project, the chances of replicability and the opportunities for advertising the benefits of renewable energy, both locally and internationally.
EKOenergy was launched in 2013. We financed the first Climate Fund projects in 2015 and, since then, we have financed a total of 94 projects with a combined sum of 2,766,917.70 €.
