Program and portfolio management and design
Rising energy costs. Increased consumer choice. You need to stay one step ahead. Our energy efficiency experts excel at project management—creating programs that drive participation and deliver value for customers. We serve as the vital link, connecting the dots between regulators, data analytics, customers, contractors, and trade allies. This continuous collaboration ensures strategic alignment with industry standards. Helping you not only meet current energy efficiency goals but prepare for future challenges and opportunities.
Marketing strategy and campaign development
Even the most compelling offer will fall flat if it goes unnoticed. We help utilities break through the noise with multi-channel campaigns that engage and convert customers on all channels. From integrated campaign planning to multi-cultural expertise and award-winning creative and design, our utility customer engagement and marketing experts know how to boost program participation and get results.
Robust data management, analytics, and reporting
Sifting through heaps of data available in today’s utility environment presents complex problems when trying to extract actionable insights that promote energy program and decarbonization goals. Our Sightline® suite of tools give program managers and teams the visibility they need to implement programs of varying sizes and complexity while maximizing energy savings costs.
Customer insights, targeting, and engagement
Each customer’s energy needs are different. We help clients match customers to the specific programs that meet their needs—using a sophisticated mix of behavior analysis, past participation information, and propensity and housing data analysis. Identifying customers who can most benefit from energy efficiency, such as low-income households, enables us to tailor the right message and timing for targeted engagement and action. This approach allows us to maximize the impact of our efforts in promoting energy efficiency.
