This 2022 marks 30 years since Ecoserveis, a non-profit organization, was founded in Barcelona. It was 1992 and its founders (Xavier Traver, Joaquim Corominas and Pep Puig, all professors at the Autonomous University of Barcelona and founding members of the Ecotecnia cooperative), aimed to create a new organization to be able to develop European energy education projects.
And 1992 was a key year for the visibility of sustainability and the environment. It was precisely when, in international negotiations and on the global agenda, the concept of sustainability began to be incorporated for the first time.
In these 30 years Ecoserveis has consolidated itself as a reference in the sector. In 1998 the First Sustainable Energy Forum took place and in 2012 the entity was a pioneer in starting to address the debate on energy poverty and to start taking action to eradicate it. Over time, the objectives of the entity have shifted to focus on the development of services and advisory projects within the field of renewable energies, the efficient use of energy and energy poverty.
Over the years, we have not only joined local, state and European projects; we have also strengthened our involvement in networks and working groups in a multitude of different disciplines.
Currently, two of its founders Pep Puig and Joaquim Corominas remain linked through the entity’s Board of Directors, acting as secretary and member, respectively. The team has grown and there are already many of us working day by day for a new, fairer, more equal and sustainable energy model!
