On this episode of the Building Local Power Podcast, John Farrell, Co-Director of ILSR, is joined by Michael Murray, the President of Mission Data. Mission Data is a national coalition of innovative technology companies that empower consumers to access their own energy usage data. John and Michael discuss how structural market problems prevent consumers from accessing electricity data and possible solutions for utilities to create a more decentralized energy system. Highlights include: How energy usage data plays a critical role in lowering costs for all customers. How monopoly utilities are exploiting smart meter data. The difference between the U.S. and the U.K. in their approach to using electricity data. “The usage data is really the fulcrum of the whole system because that's how the aggregator goes to the wholesale market operator and gets paid for their service and in turn those payments can flow through and part to the consumers who are donating their flexibility and their power usage.”- Michael Murray “We reward utilities for spending money on capital investment, but not for figuring out how to use it well.” – John Farrell “How quickly do utilities acknowledge the existence of a problem and actually resolve it? […] I think it's time for public utility regulators to take up the mantel and really think about themselves as overseers, as a tech support platform – that is an important part of accountability. – Michael Murray Related Resources Drone Data Helps a Minnesota City Conserve Energy How Big Utilities are Impeding Clean Energy, and What We Can Do About It Transcript Jess Del Fiacco: Hello and welcome to Building Local Power, a podcast dedicated to thought-provoking conversations about how we can challenge corporate monopolies and expand the power of people to shape their own future. I'm Jess Del Fiacco, the host of Building Local Power and Communications Manager here at the Institute for Local Self Reliance. For more than 45 years, ILSR has worked to build thriving, equitable communities where power, wealth, and accountability remain in local hands. This week, John Farrell, a co-director of ILSR speaks with Michael Murray, the President of the Mission Data Coalition. John and Michael discuss why clean energy advocates should be paying more attention to the value of customer electricity use data and how we can extract this data from the protective claws of monopoly electric utilities. Without further ado, here's John. John Farrell: Michael, welcome. Michael Murray: Thank you, John. I am a big fan of the podcast and very happy to join you today. John Farrell: It was such a pleasure to meet and talk to you earlier this year for the first time, and then to get a chance to read your recent report, Digital Platform Regulation, because it really intersects well with the way that ILSR and other folks across the country are looking at this issue of, who controls the platforms that we do business on and who has access to the information about themselves? Some people might think of this in the context of Facebook, as a Facebook user, this company controls a lot of data about you that you've given them voluntarily, and then sometimes you're trying to figure out like, “Wow, maybe I want to cancel my account or close my account. How do I have access to that data? How can I get back my data?” Or you have Amazon, which uses data about the different sellers on its platform in ways that can enhance its ability to compete or unfairly compete with the independent sellers on its platform. John Farrell: And then we have the utility business, and this is where I was so pleased to come across your work, because I wasn't aware that someone had thought through so carefully, not just this idea of access to customer data as something that might be useful, but you've really thought through it in terms of, what are the structural market structure problems that prevent us from getting access to customer data?

Energy costs and usage impact every homeowner, but most people don't think much about the process. They flip a switch, the light turns on, and they pay their electric bill when it comes due.  But as the energy grid ages and breaks down and the weather gets more extreme and threatens to knock out power, conserving energy and using it at the right time is crucial for homeowners.  That's where OhmConnect comes in. The company uses AI and analytics to reduce energy costs by gamifying the process and rewarding consumers for using energy when it is cleaner and cheaper instead of during peak times when it is dirtier and more expensive.  Educating customers on the complex energy system is challenging. OhmConnect meets customers where they are to market a product that hasn't existed before.  Here are three lessons from CEO Cisco DeVries:  Build Trust OhmConnect is a free service that provides customers free smart devices and pays them to change their energy use, so many people think it is a scam and too good to be true. The first roadblock to educating customers is building trust that it is a real company.  OhmConnect builds trust by leveraging partnerships with businesses customers know and trust, such as Google and Carrier. As customers connect OhmConnect with trusted brands, they understand the new company better.   Gamify the Process Once people trust the business, OhmConnect makes it fun with gamification. The company's goal is for customers to reduce their energy use—the better they do, the more points, rewards, and money they earn.  DeVries points out that the game isn't about teaching customers about the energy grid because no one would pay attention. But as customers play the game, they organically learn more about energy in their homes and how to make better decisions to reduce their energy use. At the end of the day, OhmConnect isn't trying to get people to pass a test about how the energy grid works. It just wants them to succeed in the game.  Creating a fun and engaging game lowers the point of entry and makes conserving energy accessible for customers. People may be overwhelmed by the thought of learning about the energy grid but more willing to dip their toes into a fun game that happens to teach them about energy along the way. When introducing something new, focus on what matters most to customers and leave behind what doesn't.   Constantly Test the Process Educating customers is an evolving process that involves constant testing. OhmConnect regularly surveys customers and pulls data from their energy systems to see the effectiveness of their education efforts. The goal is to teach customers enough that they want to play the game and reduce their energy use but not to bore them with irrelevant details.   The constant testing builds an incredible dataset that helps OhmConnect predict how much electricity can be reduced at any given time based on things like the time of day, weather, and type of device. The company lives and dies by the data and uses it to adjust its strategy.   Introducing a new product and educating customers on something as critical as clean energy use is important but difficult. As OhmConnect demonstrates, meeting customers where they are and finding ways to build trust and gamify the process can build strong relationships and grow a company. ________ Blake Morgan is a customer experience futurist, keynote speaker, and author of the bestselling book The Customer Of The Future. For regular updates on customer experience, sign up for her weekly newsletter here.  Join the new Customer Experience Community here.

Thomas Folker describes Leap as the Stripe for energy. The same way that Stripe provides the infrastructure for online payment processing, Leap allows anyone with energy resources (battery or EV companies, for example) to connect to the grid and trade energy as if they were a power plant.In other words, Leap is a one-stop shop for grid services.Thomas is the Cofounder and CEO of Leap Energy, a virtual power plant that connects EV, solar storage, battery and smart thermostat companies to the grid. To date, Leap serves customers in California, Texas and New York, with plans to expand and decarbonize electric grids across the US and internationally. On this episode of Clean Power Hour, Thomas joins Tim to share his  background building wind farms in the Netherlands and explain how he realized the value in selling grid services to utilities.Thomas walks us through the concepts of demand response and demand flexibility, describing what differentiates Leap from traditional DRMS.Listen in for Thomas' insight around the legislation that allows virtual power plants like Leap to exist and learn what Leap can do to make global energy markets accessible to you.Key TakeawaysHow Thomas developed an interest in renewable energy and grid servicesWhy the Dutch were early adopters of wind technology and what inspired Thomas' move to the USHow Thomas realized the value in selling grid services to utilitiesHow Leap functions as a virtual power plant to connect EV, solar storage, battery and smart thermostat companies to the gridLeap's ideal customer and how the company makes moneyThe concepts of demand response and demand flexibilityWhat differentiates Leap from traditional demand response aggregators (DRMS)The 3 markets where Leap is active now and Thomas' plans to expand to all relevant US marketsThe legislation in the US that allows virtual power plants like Leap to existHow Thomas navigates friction with utility companies (e.g.: the net metering fight in CA)Connect with ThomasLeap Energy Leap on TwitterLeap on LinkedInConnect with Tim  Clean Power Hour  Clean Power Hour on YouTubeTim on TwitterTim on LinkedIn Email tgmontague@gmail.com Review Clean Power Hour on Apple PodcastsResourcesEnphase California Independent System Operatorev.energyEV ConnectStemSunnovaSunrunGridPointEnergyHubResideoFederal Energy RegulatCorporate sponsors who share our mission to speed the energy transition are invited to check out https://www.cleanpowerhour.com/support/ Twice a week we highlight the tools, technologies and innovators that are making the clean energy transition a reality - on Apple,

We get into a Song called Moon River from 8th Grade Chorus and discuss the crazy world of Credit Scores. The different rating systems and how my one payment app doesn’t work properly.

In an age where most consumers interact with companies through websites, apps and other digital channels, the utility industry is constantly lagging behind.   A recent report from JD Power found that customer digital satisfaction in the utility industry is substantially lower than other industries. As companies in nearly every other industry, even notoriously antiquated industries like insurance and banking, prioritize the digital experience and provide innovative and convenient digital solutions for customers, utility companies lag behind with outdated channels and methods. According to Jon Sundberg, Senior Manager of Digital Communication at JD Power, utility companies update their websites an average of once every five years—a lifetime in the digital space—meaning that most websites look and feel outdated and offer a clunky user experience.   By not embarking on a digital transformation, utility companies run the risk of becoming digital laggards. Aside from dissatisfied customers, Sundberg says they are also missing a chance to become more efficient and reduce costs. Without convenient digital tools to find answers, track their energy usage or pay their bills themselves, customers are forced to call the company, which is one of the most expensive customer service methods.   To stay relevant and build a stronger experience, utility companies must prioritize these three digital areas:   Apps. Fewer than half of utility companies across the country have apps, meaning they are missing out on a convenient and cost-effective way for customers to track their account and energy usage. Even companies with apps need to take them one step further. Sundberg says apps need to go beyond the base-level of convenience and move towards offering advice and real-time notifications about how each customer can reduce their energy load to lower their bill and help the environment. Online chat. In most other industries, online chat is standard practice, but 80% of utility companies don't offer the service. Instead, customers are forced to connect with the company on the phone or in person, which is not only less convenient for customers, but also much more expensive for companies. Mobile website. Because utility companies update their websites so infrequently, most sites aren't optimized for mobile. Modern customers predominately visit websites on mobile devices, which means utility websites need to be streamlined to help customers find the updated information they need on the go.   Digital transformation is crucial for every company, no matter the industry. Because utility companies often don't face as much competition, they tend to be slow to adopt new digital solutions, which makes life much more difficult for customers. As utility startups gain steam around the country, competition is increasing, which means it's more important than ever for utility companies to offer a strong digital experience. The best digital experience is built around customers and starts with companies listening to customers to find out what matters to them. Prioritizing feedback and creating convenient digital solutions for customers can set utility companies up for long-term success. This week's podcast is sponsored by Zendesk. Things are a little weird right now. The sudden change in the world—and the world of business—has created new challenges. A lot of companies are struggling to keep up with what matters most: their customers. Zendesk is here to help. They put together a six-month complimentary Remote Support Bundle.

Civil and Criminal Liability For Utility Companies, Subrogation Rights of Insurance Companies

In case you haven’t seen the news, but apparently the fastest growing occupation in America is forest fire fighter and you can become a certified expert in less than one week. Of course we are being facetious but the debate between people on facebook and talking heads on the media seem to think they are experts on fighting forest fires and who is to blame. Our president surely didn’t help when he tweeted out during the fires that Calfire and by-proxy the democratic state of California was largely to blame. Regardless of your opinions of the causes, Americans once again are egged into a fight with each other and taking sides to a debate that they really do not know anything about. It is like my 4 year-old daughter arguing with me that allergens are really tiny green monsters that reside in your nose and that she is going to tell mom on me that I am wrong. So, The Gray is once again diving into the metaphorical fire and taking this head on.

Utilities are struggling.” Can they survive? The Smart Grid Library's Christine Hertzog helps utilities succeed in the Smart Grid ecosystem.
