Abstract

In an online study representative for Germany with 1,200 participants, we investigate which factors influence the demand for regionally produced electricity and the acceptance of the expansion of regional electricity generation capacities. In our regression analyses, we show that the preference for regional electricity is driven by demographic characteristics (gender, age, and education) as well as by individual economic preferences, regional identity, and our respondents’ perception of regional co-benefits. The efficient utilization of regional sustainable power generation capacities will play a crucial role in the realization of the ‘energy transition’. Our results show factors that are related to the preferences for regional electricity and could hence be used for marketing regional energy.
