Trusted by our Members and Partners
We have worked with ARE on the industry consultation for the EU Technical Facility. We also took part in the DRE Recovery Campaign by providing input but also hearing from other companies. So far, it has been very interesting and important for us to be collaborating with ARE and ARE Members.

We are glad to be part of the ARE community. The membership has helped us a lot in expanding our network by connecting us with new partners and customers. Especially, EcoPhi was able to increase the visibility significantly by promoting in the various ARE channels. By that, in 2021 (the year we joined ARE), we have seen an increase in requests by more than 40% compared to the previous year. There are lots of opportunities to get in touch within the industry or get important information through many events. Whenever we have specific questions or requests for contacts – the ARE team always knows how to help. We are happy that we've joined ARE and will continue this cooperation in the future.

ARE has a great network. They introduced us to lots of developers and regulators in multiple markets that we needed to work with in order to get our technology out there. They published our case studies which made a lot of people to reach us and give feedback. Ultimately, this has let us scale up and legitimise our technology.

Building out the deployment of off-grid renewable energy in low- and medium-income countries is crucial to achieving the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals and delivering positive outcomes for people and communities in rural settings. This partnership brings together two organisations with complementary strengths but a singular aim to drive inclusive, equitable development through the widespread adoption of renewable energy.

One of the activities that we have done through ARE that helped the most was the participation in the ARE Investment Academy. Prior to this, we had limited experience in interacting with investors and raising capital. The Investment Academy introduced us to the language and the processes that are used when seeking and closing investments and it taught us that we had the right to negotiate terms. It also introduced us to programs like GET.invest.
