Ecoserveis

What Ecoserveis does

Ecoserveis (legal: Asociación Ecoserveis, NIF G60037348) is a Barcelona-based non-profit strategic and innovation consultancy founded in 1992 that operates at the intersection of energy engineering and social justice. Its flagship service is the Punts d'Assessorament Energètic (PAE) network — free, municipally-procured Energy Advice Points now operating in 12 Barcelona districts and additional Catalan municipalities (Vic, Girona, Figueres, Santa Coloma de Gramenet, Barberà del Vallès, Sant Just Desvern, Cornellà de Llobregat, Sabadell, Granollers), reaching 195 municipalities across Catalonia and Spain. The PAE service is delivered through a UTE consortium with ABD and Fundació ABD, employing 60 workers, 20 of whom are on rotating employment plans for long-term unemployed people.

Ecoserveis's product surface combines direct advisory with digital tooling: La Meva Energia App (€378,201.53, Next Generation EU funded) digitizes the PAE network across Catalonia; the Climate Vulnerability Map and Multidimensional Index under Climate-Ready Barcelona (€997,515.63, co-funded by ICLEI Action Fund and Google.org) is an AI-based application for household-level climate vulnerability mapping; the GiDOMUS one-stop-shop (€1,582,369.50, 95% LIFE-funded) integrates a semi-automated audit tool for housing rehabilitation diagnostics; and the ReLIFE open-source platform (€1,977,112.84 EU co-funding) serves as a data repository for EU building stock analysis by banks, ESCOs, and building owners. The organization also runs the annual Fòrums de l'Energia Sostenible (FES) — 27 editions through 2026 — as a convening platform for the Spanish energy transition community.

Revenue is generated through competitive public procurement and EU programme funding (LIFE, Horizon Europe, AMIF, Erasmus+, Next Generation EU), with a single anchor contract of €4,450,380 from Barcelona City Council for the PAE service. End-user services are free to citizens, funded entirely by municipal and regional government contracts. The organization coordinates the Spanish arm of the European Climate Pact and co-organizes national energy poverty policy forums with MITERD and IDAE. Co-led by three executives (Cristina Ramos, Marta García, Joana Mundó) with 19+ full-time staff, Ecoserveis functions as a mission-driven public-interest consultancy rather than a commercial entity.

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Energy Saving Trust: UK non-profit established in 1992 providing independent energy advice to households, similar to Ecoserveis' PAE network. Operates government-funded programmes for vulnerable households and energy efficiency, directly comparable in mission, funding model, and service delivery approach.
• National Energy Action (NEA): UK charity focused on tackling fuel poverty through advocacy, advice, and policy work. Directly comparable to Ecoserveis' energy poverty mission and policy engagement with national government (UK government analogous to MITERD for Ecoserveis).
• ECODES (Fundación Ecología y Desarrollo): Spanish environmental foundation that collaborates with Ecoserveis on the National Energy Poverty Observatory. Similar non-profit structure, Spanish geography, and focus on social-environmental sustainability, making it a close domestic peer.
• Energy Poverty Advisory Hub (EPAH): European initiative providing energy poverty advisory services to local authorities across EU member states. Directly comparable mission of supporting municipalities on energy poverty mitigation, overlapping with Ecoserveis' municipal advisory work.
• Energy Cities: European network of local authorities driving the energy transition, with similar positioning to Ecoserveis in serving municipalities on energy transition policy and implementation across multiple EU countries.
• Citizens Advice: UK charity providing free energy and consumer advice to citizens, including dedicated energy advice services funded by government. Directly comparable to Ecoserveis' PAE Energy Advice Points model in delivering free public-facing energy guidance.

Broad incumbents

• Cáritas Española: Large Spanish social services NGO that includes energy poverty programmes among its broader welfare mission. Larger and broader than Ecoserveis but operates in an overlapping beneficiary space and competes for similar Spanish government and EU social funding pools.
• IDAE (Instituto para la Diversificación y Ahorro de la Energía): Spain's national energy efficiency agency under MITERD, a partner of Ecoserveis. While not a direct competitor (it is a public agency), IDAE increasingly commissions and delivers advisory services that overlap with Ecoserveis' offering to municipalities.
• ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability: Global network of local governments for sustainability that co-funds Ecoserveis' Climate-Ready Barcelona project. Overlaps with Ecoserveis in serving municipal climate action and energy transition, though operating at much larger international scale.

Regional players

• Fundació Europace: Catalan foundation coordinating the DOMUS and GiDOMUS housing renovation programmes as Ecoserveis' partner. Comparable regional focus on energy renovation and housing retrofit in Catalonia, with overlapping service offering in one-stop-shop renovation.
