Transforming Local Energy
Working together; tackling common market barriers; and creating a commercial market for smart local energy systems
About Us
The Local Energy Markets Alliance is a business-led initiative to develop commercial market solutions and scale the delivery of consumer-facing local energy systems.
There are multiple local energy system pilots and demonstrators but few fully commercial developments. Our aim is to get beyond this stage. It is mainly a commercial rather than a technical challenge and is for businesses that want to take the initiative.
We encourage, facilitate and accelerate the market for Smart Local Energy Systems
People and culture
Our people are what make us so unique. LEMA's team comprises of members hailing from diverse backgrounds within the energy industry including consultants, housing developers, suppliers, law firms, local councils and more. Together we will navigate the complexities of the Local energy Markets and create impactful and sustainable solutions.
Like-minded businesses focused on commercialising Local Energy Markets across Europe
Shaping a commercialised marketplace
The Alliance is a unique opportunity for businesses to commercialise their innovation through engaging, connecting and collaborating with organisations that have complementary capabilities and parallel interests, to build a commercial marketplace.
Memberships
The Alliance spans the entire Smart Local Energy System market value chain. It offers different tiers of membership based on size of organisation and level of involvement. It includes members from across Europe responding to development opportunities.
