Energy Insights + Research Service

About the service

Many energy companies are transitioning from commodity sales to energy services, supported by innovation in the sector around new energy technology to meet net zero-emission targets. But relying on energy assets alone is not enough as we must take energy customers on the journey too.

Consumers increasingly want to play their part in tackling climate change and reducing their carbon footprint. However, when it comes to home energy consumption and management, they are often not adequately equipped with the right personalised knowledge and tools to make good energy decisions.

Data from smart meters and other electricity monitoring devices provide the catalyst for energy behaviour change.

By engaging customers through personalised energy insights tools, it moves the conversation forward from the ability to shift energy consumption to the motivation to make positive behaviour change. This in turn accelerates energy customer engagement and consumer demand for energy services.

LCP Delta’s Energy Insights + Research Service enables organisations to enhance their residential customer engagement activity by providing data, analysis, insight and opinion on the energy insights market, players and solutions across Europe.

“Energy companies do not have a history for delivering customer-centric solutions, yet consumer expectations have escalated, driven by amazing digital experiences in other sectors.

Technology advances from smart meter roll-outs, the smart home and new energy tech provide the opportunity to transform these residential customer relationships and accelerate energy efficiency initiatives. Commercial pressures from increasing competition and cost reduction programmes and societal pressures to address the climate emergency provide the impetus for the energy sector to act.

Energy insights – the consumption data and interface for residential energy customer to access and benefit from – lies at the heart of many customer engagement strategies. They are playing a central role in transforming the relationship between energy company and its customer, in creating value for both, and in bringing the consumer along the energy transition journey.”
