EDP Hope Fund

Advancing a Fair Energy Transition

The Hope Fund is EDP's Impact Investing vehicle focused on providing catalytic capital to support and accelerate a fair energy transition for underserved communities. We invest in solutions that directly address social inequalities linked to energy access, affordability, employment and resilience.

Our priority is clear: measurable social impact embedded in financially sustainable and scalable models.

Beyond capital, we partner with impact ventures to strengthen business and impact models, refine financial structures and support disciplined, responsible growth.
