Abstract
In reference to the “Renewable Sources” EU Directive 2001/77/CE the Italian goal, for 2010, is to attain the share of 22% in RES electricity production. Even in early 2007, UE new goals, namely 20-20-20, have indicated 20% of total energy resources by year 2020, together with a 20% goal of energy savings, so in such setting it has became crucial to explore the existence of Italian consumer’s WTP in order to use “green energy” in the electricity production. Prior studies have found a contained consumer’s WTP if compared with the national policy energy goal as in Ivanova (2004) for Queensland and Batley et al. (2001) for UK. In previous analysis I found that Italian WTP lies between 24 and 54 € yearly per household with payment card method but I obtained doubled value using contingent valuation method (Bollino – Polinori, 2006, 2007).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
