Ecohz has been acquired by Caely Renewables
Ecohz, a global renewable energy company specialising in environmental and sustainable energy solutions, has been acquired by Amsterdam-based environmental commodity trading house Caely Renewables, marking an important new chapter for the company.
Founded over 18 years ago, Ecohz has developed into a well-established global renewable energy and sustainability solutions company with deep market expertise and strong customer relationships. The company supports corporate clients with renewable energy sourcing, energy attribute certificates and carbon solutions to facilitate decarbonisation and the transition to net-zero emissions. Ecohz serves a broad international customer base and holds a strong position in the Nordic market.
In Caely Renewables, Ecohz has found a new owner that shares its values and ambitions and is well positioned to support the company’s continued growth and expansion.
A strong strategic fit
Caely Renewables is a global environmental commodity trading house specialising in non-fossil, certified market-based solutions. The company supports organisations in decarbonising heat, power, transport and industrial processes, enabling progress towards Scope 1, 2 and 3 emission targets and the global energy transition.
Headquartered in Amsterdam, Caely leads its European activities from the Netherlands, with a North American trading hub in Houston, Texas, and additional European sales offices in Stockholm and Genoa. The company is active across three main renewable markets: feedstock and biofuels, clean energy, and voluntary and compliance carbon certificates.
Ecohz is a strong strategic fit for Caely Renewables, adding complementary capabilities and a solid global platform to our existing operations. The transaction marks an important milestone in our continued expansion and supports our ambition to accelerate the energy transition across our markets.Philip van Dijk, Managing Director and co-founder of Caely Renewables
Positioning Ecohz for the next phase
The acquisition brings together two highly complementary organisations with strong market positions and a shared ambition to accelerate the transition to renewable and sustainable energy solutions. Ecohz has built a solid position in the Nordic renewable energy market, supported by long-standing customer relationships, deep market expertise and a diversified offering. Under Caely Renewables’ ownership, Ecohz is well positioned to further strengthen its capabilities, expand its footprint and pursue new growth opportunities.
Ecohz is a company we have built from the ground, up in close collaboration with a fantastic management team, and together with leading Norwegian renewable energy companies as co-investors. I am proud of the journey the company has taken. Ecohz has been a long-term investment for us for two decades, and history shows that investing in people with a clear vision, and strong execution capabilities, creates solid growth and successful companies. I am confident that Caely Renewables will continue the company’s journey and further strengthen its position as a leading player among European sustainable energy solutions. I would also like to thank our advisors at Oaklins and Arctic Securities, for their highly professional support, ensuring a smooth and efficient transaction process throughout.Petter A.
