ECO2GROW brings sustainable energy solutions for SMEs 

By Staff Report February 28, 2025 12:34 pm IST

ECO2GROW provides solutions to supply green electricity at wholesale rates for medium-sized companies.

SMEs are facing rising energy prices and increasing regulatory pressure to transform sustainably. While large companies are already using Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) to secure long-term stable and cost-effective energy prices, this option often remains out of reach for many medium-sized companies due to high minimum purchase volumes, complex contract structures and limited market access. 

ECO2GROW offers a tailored solution: with its innovative multi-buyer PPA approach, the company aggregates the energy needs of several medium-sized companies and enables direct access to green electricity from wind and solar farms – at prices that were previously only available to large companies. 

The benefits of ECO2GROW 

• Economies of scale through bundling: By combining several companies, bulk buyer conditions can be realised. 

• Price and planning security: Virtual PPAs enable fixed electricity prices and protect against market fluctuations – existing supply structures remain in place. 

• Simple implementation: Standardised contract models reduce administrative effort and increase transparency. 

• Sustainability with verification: The green electricity comes from specific generation plants and is traceable – an important factor for ESG strategies and regulatory requirements. 

Energy and financial innovation for medium-sized companies 

By using virtual multi-buyer PPAs, ECO2GROW combines energy and financial products to provide medium-sized companies with simple, low-risk access to long-term, stable, competitive electricity prices. In addition to improved cost efficiency, this model makes a significant contribution to decarbonisation and increases the competitiveness of sustainable business models.
