Following the Kyoto Protocol, the 28 countries that are part of the European Union, among them Greece, are implementing a wide range of policy measures to tackle climate change and limit their greenhouse gas emissions. To achieve these, European countries must decrease their electricity consumption and make their buildings more energy-efficient. This thesis aims to investigate which factors affect residential electricity consumption and in which way. This could enable policymakers to design policy measures in a more energy-efficient and less carbon-intensive way in the bioeconomy framework. To find this out, a theoretical and empirical analysis of residential electricity demand in the EU has been carried out. Subsequently, the conclusions of this investigation are presented, and policy measures are suggested, to contribute to the overall discussion about electricity demand, energy efficiency, and climate change.
