In accordance with the EU total energy consumption reduction targets, increasing emphasis is being placed on involving every consumer in implementing energy efficiency measures. One possibility is to reduce energy consumption through smart technologies. In this context, the European Union has set an ambitious target for 2020: to equip 80% of households with smart meters. Currently there is no national strategy for smart technology, nor legislation, nor any vision for the future are not reflected. The only piece of legislation that sets targets for energy end-use efficiency is the Energy End-Use Efficiency Act26. Significant energy end-user involvement in energy efficiency measures can not be achieved using existing analog meters. Smart electricity meters present broader possibilities. This paper presents first research steps to investigate factors influencing energy enduser behaviour.
