Local Energy Agency of Gorenjska - LEAG

What Local Energy Agency of Gorenjska - LEAG does

Local Energy Agency of Gorenjska (LEAG) is a Slovenian public institution (javni zavod) founded in 2009 by the Municipality of Kranj to provide energy consulting services across the 18 municipalities of the Gorenjska region. The agency delivers a portfolio of services including Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plan (SECAP) development, Local Energy Concepts (LEK), energy management and building renovation consulting, energy bookkeeping systems, energy audits, energy performance certificates, and tender documentation preparation for EU funding applications. LEAG also runs educational programs on energy efficiency and renewable energy in primary schools, and hosts the Borzen contact point for free renewable energy advisory services to citizens.

The agency operates on a non-commercial model, delivering services free of charge to municipalities and citizens, with funding derived from municipal contributions and EU project grants from programs including Horizon 2020, Interreg Europe, Interreg Slovenia-Italy, Erasmus+, and EIT Climate-KIC. LEAG serves as both lead and partner in multi-country EU projects, with a track record spanning BUILD2LC, CitiEnGov, INNOVEAS, and CEATY. The agency coordinates the regional TEPN (Sustainable Energy and Climate Plan) Council and, as of 2024, leads the G2R (Gorenjska2Resilience) project as part of the EU Climate Adaptation Mission, having prepared the first regional Climate Adaptation Strategy for Gorenjska in 2025.

LEAG operates from a single headquarters in Kranj with a 7-person team comprising a director, deputy director, HR and finance consultants, project managers, and energy engineering consultants. The agency's competitive position rests on its regulatory mandate as the sole regional energy agency, its embedded relationships with 18 municipal clients, and its access to EU funding networks — rather than proprietary technology or scale advantages. Customer outcomes documented include a 27% CO2 emission reduction in municipal public buildings and issuance of more than 210 energy certificates.
