Kataclima Will Facilitate the Establishment of New Energy Communities

According to the latest “Italians and Energy” survey conducted by Ipsos for Legambiente, Nuova Ecologia and Kyoto Club, 55% of Italians think it is necessary to accelerate the energy transition. In addition, 64 percent of respondents say they are very concerned about the energy crisis.

In this context, innovative SME Kataclima has launched a first equity crowdfunding round on the Ecomill portal, Italy’s first crowdinvesting platform focused on the areas of energy transition and sustainability, aiming to raise between €150,000 and €1 million.

Three solutions for the energy transition

Kataclima, a certified ESCo active since 2009 throughout Italy and Europe, proposes the K3 integrated approach through three solutions:

EnergiainCloud, is an intelligent energy monitoring, an effective energy consumption reading service capable of identifying all energy-saving margins for customers in the industrial and domestic sectors. Kataclima has already developed the monitoring system “EnergiainCloud by Kataclima” in 2020, offering it to a small customer base as a test.

Ke-Community: facilitation in the establishment of new Renewable Energy Communities, throughout Italy, from the permitting stage to plant solutions.

K-Energystore, a physical place of reference, where to meet to “design good energy.” Kataclima’s team will provide tailor-made services to clients in the domestic sector, building on its well-established activity in energy efficiency for industrial users and its more recent successful experience (2020-2022) in energy upgrades of single-family buildings and small condominiums. The K-Energystore will also provide information and advice on the production of renewable energy through photovoltaic systems, the development and use of hydrogeological models applied to engineering, and the sizing and use of geo-exchange plants.

A business model that enables consistent ROI based on profit distribution

The particular business model based on energy efficiency allows Kataclima to generate cash flows right away so that those who invest do not have to wait years for an “exit” of the company but can obtain an economic return as early as the end of 2023, thanks to the distribution of profits.

In fact, net of the 5 percent provision for the legal reserve, the return for the investor can range from 4.9 percent to 12.2 percent. Chiara Candelise, CEO of Ecomil, stressed, “Kataclima is the first SME to make a collection on Ecomill and we are pleased to be able to offer our investors the opportunity to invest in a solid and constantly growing reality.”

Fabio Romani, CEO of Kataclima, explained: “Over the past 13 years we have grown with commitment and internal resources, but today we are opening up to the market because the climate changes taking place require us to accelerate everyone’s efforts. We are ready, strengthened by the concreteness of those who have grown up serving the best companies in the country: with the K3 project we know first of all that we can contribute to the sustainable growth of the Energy Communities, but we also want to impact the energy monitoring of the industrial and commercial sector, taking advantage of the data analysis techniques acquired over the years both in energy diagnoses and in numerical modeling of aquifers (in Italy as in Malta, Turkey and Kazakhstan).”
