By Sarah McBride, Research Analyst
The digital landscape for utilities is evolving faster than ever, and staying ahead means understanding where you stand—and where you need to go.
Chartwell’s 2025 Digital Experience Benchmarks report is now available in its entirety on the Insight Center. This essential resource provides industry-wide metrics on digital channels, including IVR, live chat, chatbots, website, and other channels key to providing an excellent digital experience. We are seeing live chat and chatbots gain traction as approximately a third of utilities offer one or both of these channels.

The Benchmark Report also provides insight into the progress of omnichannel strategy across the industry. As shown below, live chat is the most common channel currently integrated into an omnichannel view, with text and website the next most integrated channels.
