Abstract
⺠We examine drivers for adoption of Renewable energy in a survey of 2000 farmers in the West Midlands region of the UK. ⺠Sixty four percent of current non adopters might invest in the next 5 years with solar and wind most popular. ⺠The educational attainment, farming system and type of land tenure most important structural drivers. ⺠Non adopting farmers perceive the regulatory support framework more favourably than adopters. ⺠Behavioural factors are very significant drivers of RE enterprise adoption.
