Green Energy Lab
We bring new ideas for a sustainable energy future to life.
Green Energy Lab is a research initiative for sustainable energy solutions. With the core regions of Vienna, Lower Austria, Burgenland and Styria, Green Energy Lab has a test market of five million end consumers, making it Austria’s largest innovation laboratory for a sustainable energy future. Green Energy Lab is also part of the Austrian innovation offensive “Vorzeigeregion Energie (Flagship Region Energy)” of the Climate and Energy Fund. Over 150 million euros will be invested in innovative projects as part of the Green Energy Lab by 2025. Since January 2026, Green Energy Lab has also been operating the innovation lab Alliance for Green Heating and Cooling in partnership with AEE INTEC to accelerate the transformation of the heating and cooling sector and thereby drive forward the heat transition in Austria.
