Alleviating Americans’ Energy Burdens

SECC’s “Alleviating Americans’ Energy Burdens” survey is the first installment in the Smart Energy Snapshot Series, a new consumer research series designed to quickly capture Americans’ thoughts on timely energy-related topics via brief, nationally representative surveys.

The survey – fielded to 1,524 respondents in April – asked Americans whether they have struggled to pay their electric bills over the past year, if they have taken steps to pay and/or reduce their bills, whether they are aware of or are actively participating in utility programs designed to help with their energy expenses and more.

Members are encouraged to download the slides for more in-depth findings, including why some consumers have not taken action to lower their electricity bills and who consumers believe is responsible for reducing their bills.
