“…This may entail providing financial assistance, subsidies, or tax incentives to low-income households to invest in energy-saving upgrades or renewable energy systems. Moreover, targeted support should be provided to vulnerable populations, such as renters, elderly individuals, and those living in rural areas, to ensure equitable access to energy-saving resources and services [7,36].…”

“…Economic considerations, energy infrastructure constraints, and social acceptance of renewable energy technologies all play crucial roles in shaping the trajectory of energy transitions. Additionally, the pace and scale of renewable energy deployment must accelerate to meet the ambitious climate targets outlined in international agreements such as the Paris Agreement [7][8][9]. Beyond Poland, countries around the world are also grappling with similar challenges and opportunities in advancing sustainable energy practices [10].…”

This manuscript explores the relationship between the economic awareness (as a part of energy awareness) of Polish households and their sustainable energy consumption practices. Sustainable consumption is measured by the frequency of behaviors such as turning off electrical devices when not in use, removing mobile device chargers from sockets, switching off lights when leaving a room, preferring showers over baths, using washing machines and dishwashers only when full, and purchasing energy-efficient appliances and light bulbs. Economic awareness is gauged through variables such as knowledge of electricity tariffs, understanding of electric bill components, awareness of electricity prices, exact knowledge of electricity expenses, electricity usage in kWh, knowledge of effective energy-saving methods, and familiarity with the energy efficiency classes of appliances and light bulbs. This study presents profiles of households with high and low economic awareness regarding their electricity expenditures and examines how these profiles differ in their sustainable energy consumption behaviors. This research is based on a survey of 1407 Polish households conducted online in 2023. Data collected from the survey were subjected to statistical analysis and are presented in tables and graphs. The findings are discussed in the context of the existing literature in the field, highlighting the implications of economic awareness on sustainable energy consumption practices. This research contributes to understanding how economic knowledge influences energy-saving behaviors among Polish households, providing insights for policymakers and energy conservation initiatives. One of the key findings of this paper is the significant association between economic awareness, energy-saving knowledge, and the adoption of sustainable energy consumption behaviors among Polish households. This study reveals that households with higher levels of economic awareness demonstrate a notably higher frequency of practices related to sustainable energy consumption compared to those with lower economic awareness. Similarly, households equipped with greater knowledge about energy-saving techniques exhibit a higher propensity to adopt energy-efficient behaviors. This underscores important roles of economic literacy and education in fostering behavioral changes towards more sustainable energy practices, highlighting the importance of targeted interventions and educational campaigns aimed at enhancing economic awareness and promoting energy-saving knowledge among consumers.

“…It is also open to national judges of the Member States who can access the CJEU about the interpretation or validity of European law in an ongoing process. The preliminary ruling thus favors cooperation and active communication between national jurisdictions and the CJEU, aiming at the uniform application of European law (Gromek-Broc, 2023).…”
