📞 E-world Energy and Water is an annual event i

📞 E-world Energy and Water is an annual event in Essen, Germany, where German (and other European) companies from the energy sector come together. This year's edition takes place from 21 to 23 June.

We would have loved to be there again, but we chose to skip this year's edition. We continue to avoid traveling, mainly for ecological reasons. In the past 2 years, we have learned that many results can be achieved with virtual meetings. Never hesitate to get in touch! We also want to keep enough time and energy for the tens of other things going on at EKOenergy. We just selected new solar projects, we started working with several new energy companies, we have launched our EKOpixel campaign, and much more.

But let there be no doubt: the EKOenergy ecolabel is easily available in (and for) Germany too and we are open to cooperation! EKOenergy-labelled energy is the perfect choice for all consumers, households as well as large companies, that want to speed up the energy transition worldwide. Act locally, think globally! Contact us for more information, during the E-world event, or afterwards.

⚽️ Today we participated in a friendly soccer competition. We played together with the colleagues of @luonnonsuojeluliitto. There were teams from @greenpeacesuomi and @wwfsuomi too.

We lost track of the goals, for good reasons, but somehow it feels that we all won! Thanks to all for the nice afternoon.

⛽️ Speaking to the Major Economies Forum, a cl

⛽️ Speaking to the Major Economies Forum, a climate conference organised by the White House, UN chief António Guterres critised governments that are failing to rein in fossil fuels. Confronted with war and increasing prices, many governments are seeking increased production of gas, oil, and even coal, the dirtiest fossil fuel. Guterres said: “Nothing could be more clear or present than the danger of fossil fuel expansion. Even in the short-term, fossil fuels don’t make political or economic sense.”

“We seem trapped in a world where fossil fuel producers and financiers have humanity by the throat. For decades, the fossil fuel industry has invested heavily in pseudoscience and public relations—with a false narrative to minimize their responsibility for climate change and undermine ambitious climate policies.”

🤝 EKOenergy promotes sustainable renewable ener

🤝 EKOenergy promotes sustainable renewable energy in many ways. For example, via our Climate Fund we collect funds to finance renewable energy projects in developing countries. These projects fight energy poverty and contribute to multiple Sustainable Development Goals.

For each MWh of EKOenergy-labelled energy, EKOenergy's authorised sellers contribute 0.10€ to these projects. All financed projects are selected through a transparent selection process and with the support of an independent jury of experts.

Our board has just approved 11 new projects, from 11 countries for a total sum of 315,728 €. This brings the total sum of all Climate Fund grants this year (2022) to 425,728 €.

Check out the News Feed page of our website for a short description of the new projects. The projects include projects from @renewable_world @greenempowerment @istituto_oikos_onlus @libirdnepal @esf_fr and @teriindia . Congratulations and all the best with the implementation. We are looking forward to the first results.

Thanks a lot to all consumers of EKOenergy-labelled energy, and thanks to all those involved in the selection process!

👀 Friday afternoon with EKOenergy’s volunteers. One of us made a short presentation about renewable energy in Georgia (!), we discussed an article by Greenpeace on impactful action and double-checked if we are ready for the weekend and for the next week. (We are!)

Have a nice weekend and more of this next week!

🏆 Today we went with the train to Mikkeli, Finland, to present EKOenergy's Bamboo Award 2022 to @lummeenergia.

Our Bamboo Award is for the licensed seller with the highest growth rate of EKOenergy-labelled sales in the past year.

Lumme Energia more than doubled its sales of EKOenergy in 2021! Amazing result. Congratulations to the staff of Lumme Energia! More of this in 2022!

(And obviously, we are very thankful to all our licensees and all consumers of EKOenergy-labelled energy worldwide. Together we are making a positive difference, day after day.)

👷‍♀️ Investing in wind and solar is not o

👷‍♀️ Investing in wind and solar is not only a must for the planet, it's also a good choice for job creation. A study by the World Resources Institute shows that investing in wind power creates 1.2 times as many jobs as the same amount spent on fossil fuel production (For solar photovoltaic equipment manufacturing the figure is even higher: 1.5 times!)

The Global Wind Energy Council highlighted this along with many other benefits of wind energy on the occasion of the Global Wind Day (yesterday, 15 June).

🌬Today is #globalwindday! Wind energy is one

🌬Today is #globalwindday!

Wind energy is one of the cheapest ways to produce electricity. Far cheaper than using fossil fuels. The wind energy sector creates 100,000s of jobs, and thanks to wind (and solar) we can get rid of climate-wrecking fossil fuels while stopping to finance warmongers at the same time.

The challenges are huge, but let's not forget. It's 2022 and we have the tools and solutions – now we need to implement them. It’s time to get #InWithWind.

We are #InWithWind, are you?

🌞 In 2020 EKOenergy granted 35,000 euros to the Centre for Rural Technology, Nepal (CRT/N). The project focused on the electrification of Saure Bhangtar village, Nepal, through a solar mini-grid.

With the financial support of @siemenpuu, CRT/N is now making promotional material about the potential of solar energy for off-grid villages in Nepal. The mini-grid that we financed serves as an example.

In one of the publications, there is the following quote of Dhanraj Lungeli, one of the beneficiaries of the project in Saure Bhangtar.

"After solar electrification, I am having my dinner happily in the light. Before, I used to feel downhearted while eating in darkness. Old age with diminished eyesight was a nuisance to me. This electricity system has given a different joy to me."

See the "News Feed" page of our website for more information, including a video and a locally used leaflet.

💷 Climateaction.org writes that a group of 12 leading UK pension funds convened by the Church of England Pensions Board, representing £400bn assets under management and working on behalf of over 18 million members, will jointly consider how to support the climate transition in emerging markets.

These 12 funds will "explore how greater impact could be achieved through a shared understanding of the need, opportunity and mechanisms to provide such investments in these markets."
