Organisation
The e5-programme, the Austrian version of the European Energy
Award (eea), was launched in 1998. It provides municipalities with
practical, long-term support in the fields of energy efficiency and
climate protection and has become one of the umbrella programmes
for the eea.
The success of a local authority is measured in “e”, with the
number of “e”s repre- senting the scope of energy measures
implemented in the local authority. The most dedicated local
authorities achieve “eeeee”, which is how the Austrian programme
name “e5” originated. On the European level, “eee” corresponds to
the European Energy Award and “eeeee” to the European Energy Award
Gold.
The Austrian programme “e5 Österreich” is managed by the
Austrian Energy Agen-cy as part of the initiative “klimaaktiv” of
the Austrian Federal Ministry for Sustai-nability and Tourism in
cooperation with seven Austrian provinces.
Status of the eea in Austria
The programme today reaches local authorities which account for
more than 20 % of the Austrian population. Seven of nine Austrian
provinces take part in the e5 / eea programme. At the beginning of
2020, there were 330 e5 / eea local authori-ties participating, 166
of which have been awarded the eea and 28 of which have reached
Gold status.
All participating local authorities have been transformed
through the step-by-step quality process of the programme. To date,
1‘800 e5 team members in participating local authorities have
implemented more than 10‘000 energy-related measures.

European Energy Award
The European Energy Award (eea) is a quality management,
benchmarking and awarding system for local authorities. Commit-ted
to sustainable local climate policy the eea supports, through its
process, instruments and qualified advisors, the planning and
implementation of local actions in all relevant areas (such as e.g.
spatial planning, buildings, water, waste, or mobility).
Today around 65 million people live in one of over 1500
participa-ting local authorities from 15 countries.
The eea helps implementing national and European goals and is
recognized as excellent implementation tools of the Covenant of
Mayors.
