Local Energy Agency Pomurje – LEA Pomurje is regional organization that takes care to promote and facilitate continues improvement of energy efficiency and accelerated deployment of renewable energy sources in the region by seeking to maximilization local energy self-supply region. The establishment of the agency dates back to 2005 in the framework of an international consortium in the Intelligent Energy Europe.
The basic guidelines of operation of activities is the promotion of RES (renewable energy sources) and RUE (efficient use of energy) and environmental protection at all levels and tracking requirements and guidelines in international, national and regional level in the energy sector.
LEA Pomurje increasingly realize the objective to become a key software, implementing, negotiating and representative institution in the implementation of RES and RUE and sustainable development in the region.
Activities and projects, which was and will be implement and can be roughly placed into three groups as follows:
A) Preparation project of strategy documents on the energy fields in Pomurje, as well as micro fields (local community and closed area):
- Energy concepts/local energy concepts of the municipalities – we have prepared 18 strategic documents for municipalities;
- Energy concepts of Regional Park Goričko;
- Energy balance of Pomurje and energy vision of Pomurje 2007 – 2013;
- Study of energy efficiency in buildings in Pomurje with thermal methods of thermo diagnostic and making proposals of normative criteria of technical adequacy of the characteristic of elements of buildings to prevent heat loss.
B) Project and activities for implementation of strategic documents:
- Energy management in the implementation of local energy concepts;
- Verification and implementation outline proposals from different actors (local communities, businesses, individuals...)
C) Projects, educational and promotional nature of the field of RES and RUE:
- COVE – the road of renewable energy sources
- Energy efficiency for better tomorrow – preparing the curriculum and training for households
- Energy efficiency for better tomorrow – preparing the curriculum and training for employed in public administration
- Energy efficient rehabilitation and construction of buildings – preparing the curriculum and training for company
- BIOGAS – challenge for sustainable agriculture and energy
- Green energy of Pomurje – set of promotional public awareness activities
- NIMSEC – Novel and Integrated Model of Sustainable Energy Communities
- Young people create a sustainable future
- MOVE – Move towards Energy Sustainable
- ENERGO OPTIMUM – the common tool for energy efficient cross-border region
- T-JAM – Screening of the geothermal utilization, evaluation of thermal groundwater bodies and preparation of the joint aquifer management plan in the MURA-Zala basin
