Energy Monitoring Services research

“Consumers are thinking about energy management and efficiency these days,” said Chris White, Director, Research, Parks Associates. “Nearly two-thirds of households report their electricity costs are too high. Solutions are available, but education is still required as familiarity remains low for potentially helpful energy devices and rate programs.”

  • Aaron Berndt, Head of Energy Industry Partnerships / Americas, Google
