How Can Utilities Better Serve Up Energy-Efficiency Programs to Small Restaur...E Source Companies, LLC
Small and midsize business customers can be a particularly difficult group for utilities to engage. This graphical e-book shows that small restaurants trust their utility to inform them about energy-efficiency programs, but they almost equally trust their colleagues.
At the end of 2016, E Source surveyed more than 55 utilities for our annual study of "DSM Achievement and Expenditures." Demand-side management (DSM) program executives and administrators are increasingly being called upon to validate program performance and spending. In spite of increasing goals and diminishing savings opportunities, we were impressed that a majority met or exceeded their 2015 targets.
Increase Customer Participation in Value-Added Programs with Journey MappingE Source Companies, LLC
Your utility’s core business of delivering energy safely and reliably to commercial, industrial, and residential customers is running smoothly and efficiently. But getting customers to participate in optional offerings—whether they’re energy-efficiency programs or paperless billing—never seems to get easier. If anything, as you juggle the sometimes competing priorities of customer needs, commission edicts, and organizational goals, increasing program participation becomes more difficult. If you could improve the customer experience (CX) of those programs and make it easier for customers to engage and participate in them, you’d have happier customers, happier customer service representatives (CSRs), and happier executives. In short, it’d be paradise.
The Critical Relationship Between DSM Programs and Customer ExperienceE Source Companies, LLC
If you’ve been running demand-side management (DSM) programs for a few years, you know where you need to focus—or do you? Historically, if you homed in on energy savings, cost- effectiveness, and regulatory compliance, that’d be enough to meet your regulatory obligations and pick some low-hanging efficiency fruit. But in today’s rapidly changing energy landscape, that’s no longer enough. Your customers—you’re not still calling them “meters” or “ratepayers,” are you?—have never had more choices or been more informed about energy than they are today. Their expectations are high, and they don’t have to come to you to get those expectations met.
General-interest headlines from 2016 included celebrity deaths, a strange and surprising US election season, and extreme worldwide weather events, but at E Source, we’ve been keeping an eye on trends and themes in demand-side management (DSM). The big news in DSM may not have made many Twitter feeds or front pages, but what follows are some topics from 2016 that we’ve identified as top-of-mind for utility DSM professionals, as well as related E Source content.

How Utilities Can Reduce Costs and Efficiently Handle High-Volume Customer Tr...E Source Companies, LLC
Every utility has customer transactions that seem to flow through the organization like a flood, leaving behind a trail of expenses and operational headaches. If only you could improve and streamline those most high-volume transactions, you'd have happier customers, happier customer service representatives, and happier executives. Journey-mapping offers a way to map, analyze, and visualize how a customer engages with your utility's products, services, online experiences, trade allies, marketing efforts, and other channels. It captures customers' needs, processes, and perceptions at each touchpoint.

The document discusses Duke Energy's strategies for engaging small and medium businesses (SMBs) in energy efficiency programs. It outlines Duke Energy's SMB advisor process, which involves identifying SMB customers through trade shows, allies, and advertising. An advisor then conducts a virtual audit or phone interview to evaluate the customer's energy use and identify potential energy conservation measures. The advisor works with the customer to develop an energy efficiency project roadmap and facilitates project implementation and rebate processing. The goal is to streamline the assessment process, improve customer conversion rates, and achieve sustainable energy savings through partnerships with SMBs.

Achieve Your Potential: Segmentation for Business Customer Experience and Ene...E Source Companies, LLC
This document summarizes a presentation about using customer segmentation to improve energy efficiency programs and customer experience. It discusses how E Source partnered with Nielsen to create business segmentation models for utilities based on a national sample of over 300,000 businesses. The presentation shows how segmenting customers by type of business and energy savings potential can help utilities better understand customers, target programs, and improve performance. Key segments discussed include lighting, common needs by business type, top areas for energy savings, and assigning service tiers based on factors like energy savings potential and customer satisfaction.
Whether they contact you on the phone, on your website, via instant messaging, or on social media, today’s utility customers expect a coherent and continuous experience. A customer journey that starts on the website might continue on social media and conclude on the phone. Learn how utilities are orchestrating journeys across all channels to create a seamless, integrated, and consistent experience.
