Together we provided 111 energy-saving kits!
The Green Energy Cooperative and the Solidarna Foundation launched the Ease Their Troubles campaign at the end of October to collect funds for energy-saving kits for elderly citizens at risk of energy poverty. During the period of the campaign, from 26th of October until the 1st of December 2022, we collected HRK 64,713.47 from almost 200 individuals, companies, and organizations. This provided funding for 111 energy-saving kits!
Mission of ZEZ is to assist citizens in the development, investment and use of renewable energy sources. We develop concrete and sustainable solutions that promote the development of local communities.
scope of work and services
Community Energy
We help citizens to participate in planning, decision-making and investments in locally available energy sources.
Energy Sustainable Communities
We believe that every community can produce energy from locally available sources and thus be less depend on imported oil and gas, be energy-independent.
Energy Cooperatives
We are developing and supporting the work of energy cooperatives and local energy initiatives in Croatia and the region of the Western Balkans.
Cooperation between the power companies and the local community
We believe that state-owned electric power companies do not have to be completely untouchable and without contact with citizens, except when paying a monthly electricity bill.
Energy Poverty
Every fifth citizen of Croatia lives at risk of poverty, and at least every fourth household has problems paying monthly bills for electricity and heating.
Blockchain in Energy
Our experts actively explore and apply blockchain technology in the energy sector. We are looking into using it for the purpose of democratizing the electricity market, developing micro-networks, ie, small distribution systems (microgrids) and P2P (peer-to-peer) systems etc.
Alternative Finance
Crowdfunding is one form of alternative financing with which we have many years of experience.
Biofuels Market Development
We introduce and promote a certification system of quality and biofuel sustainability.
