- Real economic growth is sustainable growth. In the Kiwah economy, growth leads directly to a more sustainable, CO2 slim society;
- The Kiwah adds real value to all. All individuals, organizations, companies and communities using the Kiwah have a real economic benefit;
- Kiwah is backed by real values. One Kiwah is backed by one Kilowatt-Hour. It can always be exchanged for one KwH of energy. Kiwah therefore has a function comparable with the gold standard;
- Trading and saving, the two main functions of money, are separated. The Kiwah can only be used for trading. The saving function is realized by investments in renewable energy solutions.
- Kiwah is community based and speculation free. The fee-structure of Kiwah is set up in such a way that it stimulates use in our communities, and that it discourages speculation.
- All must be able to participate. Kiwah is open for all global citizens, as long as they can access the internet or have a mobile phone;
- Value creation is decentralized. All communities involved issue their own Kiwah on basis of local plans;
- The Kiwah-economy is transparent. The governance structure is based on maximum transparency, and inclusion of all stakeholders;
- The control, ownership and management are separated. The users of the Kiwah control the network, the owners of the renewables get a fair return on their investment, and a professional team manages the network. All under a not-for-profit umbrella.
- The concept, learning, and software are open source. Everybody is free to replicate. The central umbrella organization assists communities to set up high quality programs.
