About the initiative
Ekokumppanit Oy (EcoFellows) is a Finnish expertise company established in 1999, initially funded by the EU and primarily owned by the municipality of Tampere. It has been giving energy advice since 2003 and throughout the years it developed a service based on the Integrated Home Renovation Service approach today known as Neuvoo.fi, which provides a comprehensive support for energy efficiency and home renovation. Operating mainly in the Tampere region, EcoFellows focuses on enhancing energy efficiency and promoting renewable energy sources (RES). The service helps citizens, municipalities, and industries by offering expert advice, tools, training, and contractor recommendations. EcoFellows' work supports Tampere's goal of carbon neutrality by 2030 and Finland’s by 2035.
EcoFellows has achieved significant success due to its strong connection with the municipality of Tampere and the city-owned energy company, which is committed to becoming carbon neutral by 2030. The integration of OSS into the broader energy agency framework has enabled effective service delivery and extensive outreach. The organisation's success is also attributed to its comprehensive network of experts and stakeholders, which supports its mission to enhance energy efficiency and promote sustainable renovation practices. The proactive engagement with citizens and strategic use of various funding sources have also played crucial roles in the success of EcoFellows.
