Andalusian Energy Agency

The Andalusian Energy Agency (Agencia Andaluza de la Energía) is a government-owned entity of the Junta de Andalucía, established under Decree 21/2005 and assigned to the Regional Ministry of Industry, Energy and Mines.

Its mission is to develop and coordinate the energy policies of the Andalusian Regional Government, optimising the region’s energy supply from both an economic and environmental perspective. The Agency was created as a tool to support Andalusia’s social, entrepreneurial and institutional network in advancing sustainable energy development.

The Agency is governed by a Presidency, a Governing Board and a General Direction, with an Advisory Council acting as a consultative body.
