Dear Sirs:

Reference is made to Amendment No.1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) filed by Energy Cloud I Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”), a British Virgin Islands company, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), covering up to 8,625,000 units of the Company, including the underwriters’ over-allotment option (collectively the “Public Units”), with each Unit consisting of one ordinary share, no par value per share of the Company (an “Ordinary Share”), one half of one right, where each whole right entitles the holder hereof to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one ordinary share upon the consummation of an initial business combination (a “Public Right”), and one one whole redeemable warrant, where each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Ordinary Share, no par value (a “Public Warrant”).

We have examined such documents and considered such legal matters as we have deemed necessary and relevant as the basis for the opinion set forth below. With respect to such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as reproduced or certified copies, and the authenticity of the originals of those latter documents. As to questions of fact material to this opinion, we have, to the extent deemed appropriate, relied upon certain representations of certain officers and employees of the Company.

Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

1. Public Units. When the Registration Statement becomes effective under the Act and when the offering is completed as contemplated by the Registration Statement, the Public Units will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

3. Public Rights. When the Registration Statement becomes effective under the Act, and when the Public Rights underlying the Public Units are issued, delivered and paid for as part of the Public Units as contemplated by the Registration Statement, such Public Rights will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and will be legally binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms except: (a) as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law); (b) as enforceability of any indemnification or contribution provision may be limited under the Federal and state securities laws, and (c) that the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to the equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding may be brought.

We express no opinion as to whether the laws of any other jurisdiction are applicable to the subject matter hereof. We are not rendering any opinion as to compliance with any other Federal or state law, rule or regulation relating to securities, or to the sale or issuance thereof.
