Ecowatt is a green investment platform that accelerates climate action by building renewable energy stations and funding social impact projects.
Ecowatt has two distinct investment portfolios, the first is a Green Asset portfolio, and this is where Ecowatt either builds new renewable power stations or acquires operating ones. The pipeline of energy solutions includes a variety of options across solar, wind and geothermal, collectively amounting over 1,800 MW.
Ecowatt’s second is the Social Impact portfolio, made up of land-based projects that produce carbon credits. Currently, 25% of net revenue from the Green Asset portfolio is used to fund this portfolio. The expansion objective is to add ocean and water-based projects such as coral reef rejuvenation and clean-ups.
Funding the renewable power stations is made possible through the issuance of green bonds, large-scale investment vehicles aimed at institutions. Green bonds, while similar to traditional bonds, are specifically allocated for environmentally beneficial projects. They are intended to provide investors with a way to support the transition to a more sustainable economy while earning a financial return on their investment.
“We genuinely believe that innovative investment will save the world,” says Lauren Haworth, Global Marketing Director of Ecowatt. “Without question, everyone in this company wants to make a difference. We want everybody to get involved in projects that will ultimately contribute towards saving the planet, be a benefit to the community around them, and get a decent return as well.”
Globally, legislators have begun mandating carbon emission offsetting targets, which has led companies and brands to seek out legitimate solutions for carbon removal and carbon avoidance projects, to avoid paying fines. Likewise, investors are looking for innovative ways to get involved, even at the levels below institutions.
Ecowatt is exploring blockchain as a tool that will enable democratised investment in renewable energy solutions. Key features of these technologies include ledgers and logs which are completely transparent and immutable, which means that none of the previous logs can ever be changed or altered, thereby significantly reducing opportunities for fraud. Blockchain also enables tokens to operate and be distributed up to multiple decimal points which finally enables fractionalised investment. This would mean that the average person would be able to buy fractions of shares (micro-shares) in the renewable power stations using tokens at a fraction of the cost. Blockchain offers divisibility, transparency and traceability unlike any other technology currently offers, and that becomes key in investing.
“I think if people are playing the short-term game and they're looking at the equities market at the moment, they might be a little afraid,” Haworth continues “But we don't play that game. We are in it for the long haul. Renewable energy is something that does not necessarily offer spectacular returns, but something more stable over the long term, that's where we are playing and it's a worthwhile addition to a diversified portfolio.”
