Part of a network of energy agencies across Europe, ALIenergy's aims are: - To help people with fuel poverty and energy efficiency issues - To encourage community renewables and local energy economy - To reduce carbon emissions and mitigate climate change. ALIenergy is involved with a range of projects in the areas of affordable warmth, renewable energy, local energy economy, education and skills development.
