Table 3 Example choice situation used for collecting the tariffs dataset

Imagine having to choose between the following two tariffs for the household that you currently spend most of your time in. Which one would you prefer?

1. A fixed tariff with 100% renewable energy content. Your monthly cost of electricity will be

   57.00$ if you consume 500 kWh,

   106.00$ if you consume 1000 kWh, and

   204.00$ if you consume 2000 kWh

under this tariff. You pay your monthly electricity bill at the end of each month. A 12 months notice period applies before you can cancel this tariff

2. A variable tariff with 0% renewable energy content. The cost of electricity in the first month will be

   54.50$ if you consume 500 kWh,

   101.00$ if you consume 1000 kWh, and

   194.00$ if you consume 2000 kWh

under this tariff. After the first month, the price of electricity may go up or down in accordance with the tariff’s terms (and within legal bounds). You will have to pre-pay your monthly electricity bill at the beginning of the month. You can cancel your tariff anytime.
