Public Perceptions and Willingness to Pay for Renewable Energy: A Case Study from Greece

et al. 2018

Abstract:The purpose of this study is to discover the factors shaping public opinion about renewable energy sources and investigate willingness to pay for expansion of renewable energy sources in the electricity mix. Data was collected through a questionnaire applied in Nikaia, an urban municipality of Greece. The respondents have a positive attitude towards renewable energy systems. Most of them have good knowledge of solar and wind energy systems and are using solar water heating, while several respondents own a solar PV system. Environmental protection is seen as the most important reason for investing in a renewable energy system. Willingness to pay for a wider penetration of RES into the electricity mix was estimated to be 26.5 euros per quarterly electricity bill. The statistical analysis revealed the existence of a relationship between RES perceived advantages and willingness to pay for renewable energy. Furthermore, by using a binary logit model, willingness to pay was found to be positively associated with education, energy subsidies, and state support.

“…One of the problems with such a comparison is that some of the differences in WTP may be attributable to differences in survey design. In particular, various studies use different underlying scenarios to motivate WTP, such as preventing forest losses caused by climate change (Layton and Brown 2000;Layton and Levine 2003), obtaining green electricity (Nomura and Akai 2004;Hansla et al 2008), compensating for air travel emissions (Brouwer et al 2008), taking mitigation actions (Akter and Bennet 2008), reducing dependence on foreign oil and carbon emissions (Li et al 2009), using more biomass (Solomon and Johnson 2009), and implementing the Kyoto Protocol (Berrens et al 2004). In a more general attempt, Berk and Fovell (1999) estimate the WTP to prevent "significant" climate change.…”

Unique survey data from a contingent valuation study conducted in three different countries (China, Sweden, and the United States) were used to investigate the ordinary citizen's willingness to pay (WTP) for reducing CO 2 emissions. We find that a large majority of the respondents in all three countries believe that the mean global temperature has increased over the last 100 years and that humans are responsible for the increase. A smaller share of Americans, however, believes these statements, when compared to the Chinese and Swedes. A larger share of Americans is also pessimistic and believes that nothing can be done to stop climate change. We also find that Sweden has the highest WTP for reductions of CO 2 , while China has the lowest. Thus, even though the Swedes and Chinese are similar to each other in their attitudes toward climate change, they differ considerably in their WTP. When WTP is measured as a share of household income, the willingness to pay is the same for Americans and Chinese, while again higher for the Swedes.

“…For the assessment of WTP for renewable energy, contingent valuation (CV) has been the most widely used valuation method. Nomura and Akai (2004) Studies focusing on biodiesel as a renewable energy source are scarcer. As far as the authors know, only the papers by and has estimated the WTP for air pollution reduction derived from using biodiesel fuel in engines.…”

One of the priorities of the European Union is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to contribute significantly to climate change mitigation. The aim of this paper is to analyze consumers’ valuation of one type of renewable energy which is important to reach the European emission reduction targets, biodiesel, and to assess the extra price consumers are willing to pay to use biodiesel instead of conventional diesel. In order to achieve these goals, a market survey has been carried out in Aragón (Spain) to collect primary data from diesel consumers. A choice experiment has been used to assess willingness to pay for biodiesel. Results suggest that the consumers’ level of knowledge of biodiesel is not very high although consumers’ perception of the product is quite favourable because they believe biodiesel is less pollutant and reduces greenhouse gas emissions, compared to conventional diesel. Actual consumption of biodiesel is still very low. However, consumers are willing to pay 5% extra to fill up with biodiesel instead of its conventional counterpart.
