Average household support for policy measures and electricity expenditures, 2022

Sources

IEA analysis (2024), based on the 2022 OECD Survey on Environmental Policies and Individual Behaviour Change (EPIC).

Notes

Households’ “Average support to the policy” is measured as a normalised average of their responses. Respondents could select “strongly support” (equal to 5), “support” (equal to 4), “indifferent“ (equal to 3), “not supportive” (equal to 2), and “not supportive at all” (equal to 1). After computing the average for each policy, the score is normalised to be included between 0 and 1. This analysis only includes policy questions from the energy section of the 2022 EPIC survey (OECD, 2023). Electricity expenditures categories are the monthly electricity cost categories from the EPIC Survey, determined per country to reflect the different costs of living in the various countries. Households responding they “don’t know” their electricity expenditures category are excluded from this analysis.
