Q&A

Introduction
Resources 2015 is a joint project between Deloitte and Harrison Group, a
YouGov Company
Quantifies customer attitudes and behaviors to inform how to plan for the
future
• National US survey
• Businesses: More than 600 business decision makers responsible for energy
management for their company
• Consumers: More than 1,500 primary or shared decision makers for utilities for
the household
• Online surveys completed March 2015

Energy management has passed the point of no return. Businesses now
see it as not just a core competency, but an essential aspect of corporate
strategy—and there’s no turning back.
• 79% of businesses view reducing electricity costs as essential to competitive
advantage—and 57% have formal energy reduction goals, up from 46% in 2015
• 52% of companies see their efforts as extremely/very successful, up from 42% in
2015
• 93% of businesses say they have invested funds in energy management
programs over the last three years. They are allocating more capital to energy
management (17% of capital budget vs. 12% in 2015)

Consumer attitudes and behaviors generally held
steady, with a few notable developments in 2015:
• Consumers worry a little less about electric bills, but
they do not expect to use more electricity in the
future—lessons of the recession are entrenched
• While consumers continue to take steps to reduce
consumption, many who had intentions to do more
have not followed through
• More consumers report receiving tips on saving
energy, and social media is more often the source
than in previous years

• Consumers increasingly support renewables, not so
much to save money, but to “do the right thing”
• Despite growing support for renewables, consumers
still hesitate to install solar panels, due largely to
cost or uncertainty about performance
• Consumers are more optimistic about US energy
resource abundance, and their desire to end US
dependence on imported oil is strengthening
• Consumers view the information in their electricity
bills as more trustworthy than in previous years, and
interest in sourcing other services from their
electricity providers rose sharply

Consumers continue to take steps to reduce
household electricity consumption

statements about your electricity consumption

Q: Which of the following are actions your household regularly does specifically to conserve electricity (if any)?
Q: And regardless of whether you currently use these options today or not, which do you view as the top five things that you could see
yourself personally doing to save even more electricity in the future?

What does this mean for businesses?
• Businesses have moved up the maturity curve,
deploying new energy management tools and
technologies
• With foundations laid, the pace of change will likely
accelerate, opening opportunities for companies to
drive agendas forward for competitive advantage
• Businesses need to understand their positions on the
maturity curve to better evaluate the best path forward
• Maturity scores will help businesses identify strengths
and weaknesses and provide insight into broader
industry and category excellence
• Business as usual is no longer an option

What does this mean for electricity providers?
• Opportunities are ripe to re-segment business
customers (e.g. by industry or maturity level) and
target them with customized energy solutions and
incentives
• This may require new business models, such as
offering smart energy management technologies or on-
site generation installation and maintenance
• While consumers are increasingly aware of provider
messaging and are interested in new products and
services, they still hesitate to act
• Social media and online campaigns may help move
them off the dime, especially younger generations

How can you leverage the Deloitte Resources
2015 Study?
• The Resources Study is a living tool to assist companies with
business decision-making. The Study’s expansive database
allows Deloitte to help companies examine the findings in
much greater depth in the context of their business goals
and strategies
• Companies can use the Capability Maturity Model to help
build the business case necessary to establish priorities and
gain support for proposed initiatives, or to provide solid data
for new directions
