I think demand is far greater than what is currently visible, but the price is still way to high.
I'd move to electric heat in a heartbeat, but it's 2-3 times more expensive than coal, natural gas or oil (those are the most popular choices in Poland). If the price was 1/3rd of current, tens of percent of all citizens would move to a different heat source, using a lot more energy than they do now.
So it's just a price problem. Make it cheaper (maybe renewables will) and the demand will come quickly.
