The various endeavours to achieve this were apportioned among several federal ministries – including the Federal Ministry of Sustainability and Tourism. The "EnergieGenie Award" was created in cooperation with the state of Upper Austria and the Energiesparverband Oberösterreich (regional energy agency of Upper Austria).
