  We present results on inclusive electrons for 1.5 $ < p_{\rm T} < $ 6 GeV/$c$
in {Pb-Pb} collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 2.76 TeV measured with ALICE at
the LHC and compare these to a cocktail of background electron sources. The
excess of electrons beyond the cocktail at high momenta ({$p_{\rm T} >$ 3.5
GeV/$c$}) is attributed to electrons from heavy-flavour decays. The
corresponding nuclear modification factor indicates heavy-flavour suppression
by a factor of 1.5-4.
