ApE Agencija za prestrukturiranje energetike d.o.o. - Energy Restructuring Agency Ltd. was established in 1991 as a private company with the agreement and support of the Ministry for Energy of the Republic of Slovenia. ApE is an independent agency; the assistance with the ministries is normally organized on the base of open public tendering processes and contracts agreement. ApE employs a staff of 5 high-qualified experts and using up to 10 part-time experts depending on project execution requirements. The expertise of the permanent staff members ranges across the technical, environmental and economic disciplines. ApE’s main services to the costumers are analysis, consulting, feasibility studies and implementation/ dissemination. ApE analyses energy problems of technical, structural, financial, legal, environmental and behavioural nature, presents recommendations for actions, offers information to decision makers, and addresses the appropriate public audience. ApE develops long-term strategies for sustainable development mainly in the field of renewable energy sources (RES). In this respect ApE developed in the past a good collaboration with partners from EU and the CEE countries. ApE gives assistance to prototype experiences, evaluates its results and promotes the diffusion of information regarding new developments and tools.

ApE gives technical and economical support to the process of market diffusion of energy efficient technologies and renewable energy sources. The company organises workshops, conferences and symposia and gives assistance to the interested partners and investors for the participation in Slovenian and EU energy programs. ApE offers support to relevant Slovenian ministries and broad number of municipalities and enterprises. We accumulated god experience on international co-operation, projects financing and management. ApE's special references are in management of the program for installation of 500 hot water solar systems for households (PHARE), preparation and management of four projects on biomass district heating (CBC PHARE), feasibility study and financial support for removing barriers for biomass district heating (GEF), management of the demonstration project for installation of six individual biomass boilers for central heating (INCO COPERNICUS), preparatory works for the first wind farm in Slovenia (ECOS OUVERTURE), installation of the first grid connected PV in Slovenia and a series of similar projects in the field of renewables. On this projects ApE succeed to develop a very good international co-operation, transfer of know-how and implementation of modern high-tech technologies.

The mission of our activities is strongly connected to sustainable development and decrease of impact of energy use to the environment. The development of RES and energy efficiency plays an important role for sustainable development also in our country. For this purpose we performed in the past years a broad series of promotional campaigns in the media, international workshops and publications. ApE prepared for the relevant ministries support schemes for RES. ApE has managed to execute some few governmental financing schemes for subsidies to households for rational use of energy and RES.
