Alba Local Energy Agency (ALEA) was established given the need to develop local actions resulting from European and national policies and strategies, related to energy. With its activity the agency addresses itself to both the population in Alba county, to whom it can provide advice, and to the local authorities whom it supports in the defining, promoting and sustaining energy policies.  

Other key objectives of ALEA’s activity are energy planning and support of projects regarding energy  eficiency and RES.
