SUMMARY:Use microtargeting techniques to achieve your energy-efficiency goals
DESCRIPTION:As a result of COVID-19\, energy utilities and implementers face uncertainty and risk about whether they can achieve their 2020 demand-side management (DSM) savings targets. They’re also facing the added challenge of offering programs that are safe for customers and employees. There’s been debate about the future of energy-efficiency programs\, but T&D World\, an online transmission and distribution (T&D) resource for utilities\, thinks the pandemic will create new opportunities. In the article COVID-19 Will Create Energy Efficiency Opportunities\, T&D World’s grid optimization editor David Shadle recognizes that in-home and workplace programs have been stalled but thinks they could take on greater importance in the coming months and years. \nTo make sure your upcoming DSM programs are successful\, you’ll need to resegment your residential customers. A lot of your customers are experiencing unemployment because of the pandemic\, so you’ll see a larger pool of low-income candidates\, and some have been able to work from home and save money from doing so. COVID-19 has shaken up your customers; they don’t look the same as they did six months ago. It’s a good time for you to resegment your residential customer base and get the right programs and messaging to the right people. \nYou’ll learn how to: \n\nDevelop a plan for your postpandemic activities to achieve the most energy savings\nUse data to better connect with your customers\nMaximize marketing and outreach budgets within energy-efficiency programs\nUse microtargeting to identify and cross-promote other energy-efficiency programs\n\nE Source has partnered with Claritas to quickly and cost-effectively deliver information about your customers and programs. Within four weeks of working with us\, we’ll give you customer data that you can immediately use to target the right customers with. \nSpeakers: \nCindy Schweitzer\, Vice President\, Customer Solutions\, E Source\nRachel Cooper Director\, Market Research\, E Source\nChad Garrett\, Managing Director\, Consulting and Advisory Services\, E Source \nWho should attend: \nAny energy industry professional who’s tasked with achieving DSM savings targets. \nFor more information about attending this event\, please email us or call 1-800-ESOURCE (1-800-376-8723).

SUMMARY:How to support trade allies throughout the COVID-19 pandemic
DESCRIPTION:Trade allies play a vital role in the delivery of utility energy-efficiency programs. And without them\, utility demand-side management portfolios would fall flat. In this web conference\, we’ll discuss how utilities can support trade allies throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. \nBecause of COVID-19\, your trade allies have taken a considerable hit to their businesses over the past few months\, like many other businesses have. Even as states begin reopening\, many trade workers and contractors will likely struggle to financially recover. In this web conference\, we’ll discuss how you can support trade allies as restrictions are lifted and as people return to life pre-COVID-19. We’ll also help you plan for future COVID-19 outbreaks and discuss how to support your trade allies in the long term. \nYou’ll learn: \n\nThe types of support that trade allies and contractors want from their utility partners\nExamples of how utilities are successfully supporting trade allies\nIdeas for how to support your trade allies during future COVID-19 outbreaks\n\nModerator: \nLuke Beckett\, Product Manager\, Customer Energy Solutions\, E Source \nSpeakers: \nBrysen Daughton\, Analyst\, Customer Energy Solutions\, E Source\nMatt Michel\, President\, Service Roundtable \nWho should attend: \nAnyone who’s interested in supporting their trade ally networks throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. \nFor more information about attending this event\, please email us or call 1-800-ESOURCE (1-800-376-8723).
