Customer Engagement for Municipal Utilities

Demonstrate your commitment to your community and sustainability.

What’s at the Heart of Your Service?
Engagement. Education. Satisfaction.

Municipal utilities are the heart of a city. And at the heart of every municipal utility is a deep commitment to enhancing your residents quality of life.

But providing for your residents can be a challenge if your city is rapidly growing and your infrastructure, technology, budgets, and staff resources can’t keep up with demand. You’ve found there’s no internal source of truth. Municipal leaders face constant pressure trying to meet voter expectations. Improving customer satisfaction is key to ensure complaints don’t escalate.

Showing up for your residents starts with real customer engagement.

To truly show up for your residents and customers, you need to have resources in place to set your utility-and your city-up for success. This means offering modern solutions for a modern generation. It means empowering your customers to make responsible choices with their energy usage and helping them implement energy solutions in their own home, all while supporting your commitments to clean energy and carbon reduction goals.

Better Communication, Not More

Customers want to know you’re looking out for them. This means clear communication about rate changes, their bill, and how they can help achieve city sustainability goals.

But limited resources make consistent, helpful communication a challenge. It’s difficult to track customer interactions and manage complex processes, like rebate applications, efficiently.

Technology can help. By using data, you can send targeted information to customers and answer their question even before they ask.

Go beyond simply notifying customers their bill is ready. Engage them with personalized videos and texts about energy use throughout their customer journey – from move-in to move-out and every milestone in between.

Use existing customer data to pre-fill forms and simplify enrollment. Manage programs efficiently – from application to rebate payout – with clear visibility into each step and assigned responsibilities, reducing call center volume and improving team efficiency.

Empower your customers to make informed decisions that lead to energy savings and program participation—exactly what city leaders want to see. Easily run reports to see exactly how you’re performing against your goals. Use that data to justify what you’re doing and secure more budget. Watch your customer satisfaction scores soar.
