E + Co
E+Co is the original visionary and world's leader in eradicating energy poverty through local businesses. E+Co connects developing country energy entrepreneurs with capital and knowledge, allowing these men and women to deliver clean and environmentally superior energy to their communities. Through its unique combination of local presence, experience with a vast variety of technologies, and a sustainable revenue generation model, E+Co demonstrates the viability for permanent, market-driven businesses to serve their neighbors, deliver consistent results to investors and, most important, alleviate the burden of energy poverty.
For more than a decade, E+Co has been an innovating leader in the energy, environment, and development finance sector. In fall of 2007, E+Co launched the Energy Cures campaign, a grassroots social and environmental movement to fight poverty and protect the planet in developing countries by supporting small entrepreneurs across the globe as they implement clean energy solutions in their communities. Building on the E+Co model, Energy Cures fosters an emphasis on decentralized energy enterprise, and private sector led businesses as an avenue for sustainable poverty-alleviation. It is the commencement of a new energy finance paradigm.
