LEVEL OF SUPPORT

Around one-third of Australian households (32%) were willing to support GreenPower by paying extra for electricity generated from renewable energy. This was an increase from 2005 (23%) (graph 6.2 and table 6.6). Households in Western Australia expressed the highest support (38%), followed by the Australian Capital Territory (36%). Capital cities showed greater willingness to pay more for GreenPower renewable energy (35%) compared with other parts of the country (29%) (table 6.5).
