IN ADDITION, SECC PRODUCED FOUR CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT CASE STUDIES THAT PROFILED HOW ENERGY UTILITIES IN THE U.S. ARE MAKING SIGNIFICANT STRIDES IN EDUCATING AND ENGAGING THEIR CUSTOMERS ABOUT HOW TO BETTER CONTROL THEIR ENERGY USE, THE RESULTING UTILITY COSTS AND THE BENEFITS OF SHIFTING THEIR CONSUMPTION. ALL OF THESE RESOURCES WERE PUT TOGETHER BY A VOLUNTEER-BASED RESEARCH COMMITTEE CONSISTING OF MEMBERS WHO HELPED SHAPE SECC'S RESEARCH AGENDA, REVIEWED DETAILED FINDINGS AND DISCUSSED THE IMPLICATIONS AND PRESENTATION OF THOSE FINDINGS.SECC RELEASED THE MOST CURRENT VERSION OF ITS ANNUAL 2024 STATE OF THE CONSUMER REPORT, A META-ANALYSIS OF SECC'S 2023 RESEARCH AGENDA THAT PROVIDES SIX BIG-PICTURE THEMES ON THE NEEDS AND WANTS OF TODAY'S ENERGY CONSUMERS.
