The Malta Intelligent Energy Management Agency (MIEMA) was set up in June 2007 with the support of the Intelligent Energy – Europe Programme and a wide array of public institutions including Ministries, the Local Councils’ Association and the University of Malta. MIEMA is a non-profit, public-equivalent body initially set up to promote energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy sources. The agency aims to be at the forefront of the national and European effort for sustainable energy, promoting green growth and fighting climate change. Within its sphere of competence, it provides support to policymakers and develops and implements projects on a national level. Its activities focus on 5 main areas: renewable energy, energy efficiency in buildings, clean transport, eco-innovation, and training and awareness.
MIEMA is a member of the European Federation of Agencies and Regions (FEDARENE). In Malta, it works closely with the relevant ministries, municipalities, academic institutions, national agencies, SME networks, professional bodies and others. Over the past ten years, MIEMA has implemented more than 30 European projects, all related to sustainable energy and environment, under a range of different programmes. The agency’s technical staff includes professionals with different areas of expertise, including engineers, architects and urban planners.
