Abstract
Households electricity consumption constitute a considerable part of total electricity consumption and knowledge about what determines their electricity demand is of interest to many parties. Previously there exist a number of studies using both aggregated data and detailed household micro data where the demand for electricity are estimated. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether information about the household's stated behavior, attitudes and interest in energy issues can improve our understanding of household's demand for electricity. The main conclusion is that information about the stock of appliances, in addition to economic and demographic information, is important, but that the information about behavior, attitudes and interest are less important.
