KLIMA AGENCE GIE

Their core work

Klima-Agence is Luxembourg's national energy and climate advisory agency, operating as a public-interest grouping (GIE). They provide energy efficiency guidance, support national energy policy implementation, and facilitate knowledge exchange across European energy networks. Their work spans organizing high-level EU energy policy events, contributing to pan-European energy monitoring systems (ODYSSEE-MURE), and helping municipalities align with Covenant of Mayors commitments.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Their early H2020 involvement (2015-2016) centered on high-level energy strategy — organizing the SET Plan presidency conference and engaging with broad topics like energy management and low-carbon technologies. By 2018-2021, their focus narrowed toward practical policy evaluation, energy consumption monitoring, and experience sharing across EU member states. This shift reflects a move from strategic convening toward hands-on measurement and benchmarking of energy efficiency outcomes.

Moving from event-driven policy coordination toward data-driven energy efficiency measurement, making them increasingly relevant for projects needing national-level energy monitoring expertise.

How they like to work

Primarily a consortium partner (3 of 4 projects), though capable of leading when the topic aligns with their national mandate — as shown by coordinating the SET LU presidency event. With 50 unique partners across 31 countries from just 4 projects, they plug into very large pan-European networks rather than building small targeted teams. This makes them a well-connected node for anyone needing a Luxembourg entry point into EU energy policy circles.

Despite only 4 projects, they have collaborated with 50 partners across 31 countries — a remarkably wide network driven by participation in large Coordination and Support Actions. Their reach spans nearly all EU member states, reflecting their role as a national agency embedded in pan-European energy networks.

What sets them apart

As Luxembourg's dedicated energy and climate agency, Klima-Agence offers something rare: direct access to a national government's energy policy implementation machinery in a small but influential EU member state. Their experience hosting an EU Presidency energy conference demonstrates high-level institutional credibility. For consortium builders, they provide a trusted Luxembourg partner with proven ability to bridge EU-level policy frameworks and national-level energy action.

Highlights from their portfolio

• SET LU
  Their only coordinator role — organized the official Luxembourgish EU Presidency Conference on the Strategic Energy Technology Plan, their largest funded project at EUR 263,000.
• ODYSSEE-MURE
  Participated in two consecutive rounds (2016-2018 and 2019-2021) of the EU's flagship energy efficiency monitoring tool, showing sustained commitment to energy data and policy evaluation.
