This research investigates the effects of comparative information interventions on electric consumption behaviors and intention to use renewable energy. We surveyed 48 households by a web monitoring system to obtain energy consumption data and a questionnaire to measure awareness of renewable energy use. As a result, the information of electricity consumption of neighboring residents promoted energy saving behaviors, and it also stimulated personal norm and coping self-efficacy. On the other hand, the same information did not promote behaviors of renewable energy use. Therefore, different intervention methods will be expected to promote the behaviors of renewable energy use.
