Outline of Final Research Achievements

For discussion of a smooth transition of energy system, consumers are required to have an appropriate energy choices in terms of their environmental and economic aspects. This study developed the energy literacy index and examined the relationship between literacy and energy choices.
Referring related studies as well as discussion with energy experts, we developed the energy literacy index consisted of 30 questions. We measured energy literacy of present energy consumers as well as future energy consumers, high school students. We conducted an econometric analysis to examine the relationship between literacy and preferences towards electricity plans, and we found that there is a significant relationship between them.
