The Spanish crowdlending platform for energy efficiency projects Ecrowd has just received its first round of funding of \u20ac156,000, joining the wave of platforms specialising in the renewables sector that have received funding in the last year.

Crowdlending platforms focused on the energy sector<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We start by highlighting Sunfunder because among its investors we find the Spanish venture capital firm Perseo, owned by Iberdrola. Sunfunder is a crodlending platform that aims to connect individual investors with businesses in the solar energy sector to finance solar projects in communities around the world, especially in low-income areas where they do not have access to<\/span><\/p>\n

Iberdrola<\/span> <\/span>invested 660,000 in this platform in February 2015 as part of the \"Electricity for All\" programme to promote access to electricity in emerging and developing countries, as it is estimated that there are currently more than 1.3 billion people without access to essential energy services.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trillion fund <\/span>\u00a0is a crowdfunding platform that was born in Great Britain in 2010 and is focused on renewable energy projects. In April 2015, it received a round of funding of $<\/sup>825.21k led by Seedrs<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Another specialised platform is Abudance generator, a London-based company founded in 2009, which manages to raise small amounts of 5$ from many contributors for renewable energy projects.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ecrowd, Spanish platform for renewable energy projects<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Spain is also seeing the emergence of crowdlending platforms more focused on the energy sector. In the last quarter, one of these, Ecrowd, has gained the support of investors through the Crowdcube platform.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ecrowd<\/a> is a crowdfunding platform dedicated exclusively to projects that lead to an improvement of society and the environment. Its founder, Mathew Van Haperen, has worked for more than 6 years in the renewable energy sector as founder\/director of Solariza Energ\u00eda.<\/span><\/p>\n

Its financed projects include several fibre optic installation operations in different towns and villages, as well as a campaign to remove biomass from Catalan forests. It is also currently involved in the\u00a0100schools.org<\/span><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0which aims to bring energy efficiency to a large number of educational centres.<\/span><\/p>\n
