1. Call for projects: energy poverty in developing countries.

For each MWh of EKOenergy sold, minimum 10 eurocent go the EKOenergy Climate Fund. That money will be used to invest in climate projects that would not have happened without the contributions. We have just launched a 'Call for projects', searching for small scale energy poverty projects in developing countries. Click here for the 'Call for projects'. Deadline for submissions is September 15th, 2013.

3. First biomass plant gets EKOenergy eligibility

The Pursiala power plant of the Finnish company EtelÃ¤-Savon Energia is the first power plant that will start producing 'EKOenergy biomass'. The power plant has a thermal capacity of 130 MW (heat for the Finnish city of Mikkeli) and an electrical capacity of 62 MW.

Do you want to have a particular power plant on our list and map? Contact the EKOenergy secretariat, or fill the power plant enrollment form.

4. EKOenergy text in German and Swedish

The translation work goes on. The 'EKOenergy - Network and label' is now also available in German and Swedish, which brings the number of translations at 15. The summary is already available in 27 languages. See http://www.ekoenergy.org/Criteria

More languages will follow, and we still welcome all help.
