Behaviour Survey

October 2023

Introduction

Energy Consumers Australia’s Behaviour Survey provides Australia’s richest national picture of the attitudes and activity of residential and small business energy consumers – how they use power and associated energy technology, their attitudes to new technology, and how they see the future of energy for themselves and their communities.

You can explore the data using the below category-tabs and within most sections you can sort the data by household-type, state/territory, region and other demographic characteristics.

You can also switch between household and small business data.
