Over the past decade a shift in the utility customer’s perspective resulting from emerging energy supply choices due to deregulation in more and more geographical areas across the United States has changed the way energy distributors approach their customers and the level of service required to ensure continued success. As a result, the question arises, how can utility distributors inclusively engage low-income customers, ensuring immediate access to essential services and maximizing program participation? BlastPoint, with its innovative approach, stands ready to address this pressing challenge, offering utility distributors the tools needed to enhance inclusivity and drive success in their energy programs.
Empowering Inclusive Program Access
Utility distributors face the challenge of engaging customers with lower income levels, ensuring access to essential energy services. According to the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy, research determined that the overwhelming majority of single family and multifamily low-income households (those with income at or below 80% of area median income), minority households, low-income households residing in multifamily buildings, and renting households experienced higher energy burdens than the average household in the same city. This makes inclusive engagement a crucial driver for many energy distributors.
BlastPoint’s advanced analytics and personalized engagement capabilities provide a solution by identifying and communicating with low-income customer segments. This enables distributors to create targeted campaigns that resonate, ensuring access to essential services and establishing a foundation for sustained and impactful energy initiatives.
Maximizing Program Participation
Impactful program participation among low-income customer segments is paramount for the success of energy utility initiatives. Studies have shown that personalized engagement strategies can lead to a substantial increase in program participation. For instance, a report by ACEEE suggests bringing housing stock of low income households up to the efficiency level of the median household, would lower the price of energy per square foot and reduce energy burden by 35%.
BlastPoint’s tailored data analytic capabilities offer utility distributors the ability to efficiently identify, target and address their customers and corresponding needs, ensuring that programs are designed with impactful access with correct messaging and aimed at the right customers. This not only addresses the challenge utility distributors face, but also establishes a foundation for sustained and impactful energy initiatives.
Operational Efficiency Impact
BlastPoint’s commitment to operational efficiency becomes a crucial asset for energy utility distributors seeking to enhance program access for their customers. Streamlining data integration and utilizing advanced analytics can lead to a 15% reduction in operational costs, allowing distributors to allocate resources more effectively toward program development and effectiveness. According to ACEEE, such efficiency improvements significantly contribute to the overall success and sustainability of energy initiatives.
BlastPoint’s platform facilitates seamless integration with existing systems, enabling distributors to efficiently onboard, clean, and unify internal and external data. This operational efficiency not only enhances program access but also contributes to the overall success and sustainability of energy initiatives.

Over the preceding decade, a paradigm shift has reshaped the utility sector, propelled by the emergence of diverse energy supply options stemming from deregulation in an increasing number of geographical regions across the United States. This transformative tide mandates a recalibration in the strategies employed by energy distributors, acknowledging the shifting perspectives of their clientele and the heightened service benchmarks requisite for enduring success.
