Are customers willing to participate in demand response? The data says yes!

SECC's 2026 Consumer Understanding of Demand Response survey found that 28% of U.S. consumers are enrolled or highly interested in DR programs. Meanwhile, actual enrollment sits at only 6 to 7%.

Join BlastPoint and the Smart Energy Consumer Collaborative on Thursday, June 11 at 2 PM EDT for a practical walkthrough of what's creating that gap - and how utilities are closing it using the customer data they already have.

What you'll walk away with:
• Fresh findings from SECC's 2026 DR consumer survey - what customers want, how they want to be paid, and how they want to be reached
• A live demo showing how to find DSM-ready customers inside your own service territory
• The three habits holding most utilities back from converting interest into enrollment
• First access to the DSM ROI Slider - a free tool that turns SECC's data into projected megawatts and avoided costs for your territory

The Energy Efficiency Savings Benchmark is now live!

The U.S. electrical grid is under more strain than it has been in decades. Power demand is climbing, new data centers are showing up in communities that weren't planning for them, and utilities are looking for ways to make room without spending billions on new infrastructure.

One of the cheapest options they already have is energy efficiency. Every kilowatt-hour a utility helps a business save is a kilowatt-hour that becomes available for a new factory, a new neighborhood, or new growth in the community.

BlastPoint's new Energy Efficiency Savings Benchmark measures how well each utility is using that tool. The top utilities in our dataset have realized over 100% of their commercial savings potential. Most utilities are nowhere close.

The Banking Scorecard is now live!

This free tool ranks every FDIC-insured U.S. bank’s performance across 12 key metrics, including loan & deposit growth, non-interest-bearing deposit share, delinquency rate, and return on assets.

Some key findings:
➔ An 8.1 percentage point efficiency gap exists between banks with $500M-$5B in assets and those with $25B-$250B
➔ Loan delinquency is rising year-over-year at 900+ banks.
➔ 600+ banks are pushing against the limits of their deposit funding.
➔ Non-interest-bearing deposit share declined at every asset size in 2025.

The Q4 2025 data shows where banks are being squeezed - on efficiency, on funding costs, and on credit quality. 2026 is the moment to pay attention to what makes your bank different from a $1T national.
