The Midland Energy Agency is funded by and serves Laois, Offaly, Westmeath and Longford County Councils and the Midland Regional Authority. The aim of the agency is to promote and develop energy conservation and renewable energy for the region, coupled with meeting important Climate Change targets.

Over the past number of years the focus has been on projects which reduce the everyday energy consumption and cost within the four local authorities. Typical projects include energy audits and improvements on waste water treatment plants, water supply sites, public lighting and buildings. The agency is also involved in developing Key Performance indicators for water and wastewater sites, along with producing Display Energy Certificates for local authority buildings over 1000m² to comply with the Energy Performance Buildings Directive.

Total savings produced by the agency by the end of 2010 were in excess of €800,000.
