BGE Dives Into Data To Reinvigorate an Energy Efficiency Program for Small Businesses
How do you turn around an underperforming program? BGE’s Small Business Energy Solutions Program was struggling to meet annual goals for participation and energy savings. The program offers small businesses and nonprofits turnkey solutions to help improve energy efficiency at a reasonable cost, so the flagging participation numbers indicated a critical need for targeted awareness generation.
In 2019, BGE partnered with ICF to create a comprehensive, multiplatform campaign to engage new and previous participants by promoting new cost-effective measures, supporting program contractors and hypertargeting communications to reach ideal participants. Participation rates and energy savings have soared, achieving 142% of goal.
