Abstract: This paper presents the unique survey results on knowledge and perceptions of energy users on competitive supply and efficient energy use. In the survey, results are included for the four target groups of users from social sciences, natural sciences, electroenergy, and energy management. As the methods of analyses are used descriptive statistics, comparison of average values for two independent samples, correlation, regression, and multivariate factor analyses. The empirical results indicate similarities and differences in the opinions among the professional users’ groups with a special focus on the opinions of the social science group. Among the common factors for the competitive supply and efficient energy use three groups of factors are identified: sustainable development in the efficient energy use, price competitive supply of energy, and energy sustainable development of the economy.
