A huge challenge facing community enterprises of any sort is access to funding.
At ECI we can offer access to a range of funding instruments to suit your community’s need
DAYSE
This is a platform managed whereby a community group or charity can leverage the goodwill of local business associations and private individuals to raise funds for small-scale energy conservation and generation projects.
State supports
ECI can help your community to acquire funds for energy conservation and smaller scale generation projects on a matching funds basis.
Philanthropic Funds
With our help, your community project may be able to raise funds from our contacts in Philanthropic organisations. Funds up to €500,000 are available on a low-interest loan basis
Community Share-holding Platforms
Larger scale projects (greater than €500,000) can be funded through an equity platform.
