Abstract

This study analyses ten years of panel data (2014-2023) across various states in Malaysia to investigate key factors influencing the adoption of energy- efficient appliances (EEAs) in households. Employing panel econometrics, with the fixed effects model as the most appropriate, both simultaneous and individual determinants of EEA adoption are examined. Findings reveal that energy rates, clean energy policies, and inflation affect EEA adoption. The study emphasises the need for targeted energy pricing interventions and policy frameworks to enhance adoption. Additionally, regional disparities highlight the need for location-specific strategies to improve adoption rates. These insights provide a robust foundation for policymakers to develop effective measures promoting sustainable energy practices and facilitating widespread adoption of EEAs.
