The identification of factors influencing on future prosumers

Summary/Abstract: The aim of article is the identification of factors influencing the households’ willingness to install renewable energy resources (RES), and the estimation which variables have the stronger influence on probability of the RES installation and which have the weaker influence. The household is seen as individual energy consumer which take rational decisions. The future prosumers were defined as households which are interested in the RES installation and electricity production on their own needs, and the electricity surplus is given back to the grid to take them off in one year period. The survey research among households was conducted in November and December 2015 within a project “Modelling prosumers behaviour on the energy market” funded by the National Centre of Science, by grant no 2013/11/B/HS4/01070. In the paper qualitative variables, which can influence household’s decisions about the RES installation, such as:the expenditure on electricity, the flat area, the type of building, the size of family, and the respondents’ sex and age, the level of education, profession, knowing the electricity tariff, were analysed. Significance of qualitative variables, which influence on household’s decisions about the RES installation was verified by the results of logit model, where there is a single decision among two alternatives.
