About us
Our nonprofit ecolabel
EKOenergy is an international not-for-profit ecolabel for energy (renewable electricity as well as renewable gas, heat and cold).
In addition to being renewable, EKOenergy-labelled energy fulfils additional sustainability criteria and finances projects that combat energy poverty.
The EKOenergy ecolabel can be combined with any sourcing method: Green tariffs, Power Purchasing Agreements (PPAs), unbundled energy certificates such as Guarantees of Origin, RECs, I-RECs and others. Energy from on-site installations can also carry the EKOenergy label. EKOenergy brings additional positive impact to consumers’ renewable energy choice, regardless of the method of purchase or consumption.
The Greenhouse Gas Protocol, LEED for green buildings, CDP and the RE100 describe the EKOenergy ecolabel as a good solution for consumers that want to take an extra step.
Our ecolabel is easy to use
We have authorised sellers around the world, making it easy to buy EKOenergy wherever you are. EKOenergy can be used for your home or for your company. If you’d like to buy EKOenergy-labelled energy or sell EKOenergy-labelled renewables, please get in contact.
Our ecolabel is a communication tool
The EKOenergy label is an internationally recognised communication tool. By using our logo, individuals and companies demonstrate their commitment to renewable energy and encourage others to do the same. This helps speed up the transition to a 100% renewable world. Users of EKOenergy-labelled energy can use the logo in their publications, on their buildings, and on products made with EKOenergy.
Our international team can answer your questions in many languages, and our materials are available in over 20 languages.
