The Sligo Leitrim Energy Agency, or SLEA is a small, local team who help people make their homes warmer, cheaper to heat, and better for the planet.

A not-for-profit agency, backed by the EU, Sligo and Leitrim County councils and the ATU Sligo, the Sligo Leitrim Energy Agency help people upgrade their homes and buildings to use less energy and feel more comfortable. 

That might mean insulation, new heating systems, or solar panels. We guide people through grants and the retrofit process from start to finish.
We work on two main schemes -  Community Energy Grant (CEG): For homes, businesses and community buildings – grants range from €15–30K approx. Warmer Homes Scheme: Free energy upgrades for eligible homeowners on certain social welfare
payments.
