-- An insight on purchase patterns for heavy electricity users in deregulated states

MOUNTAIN VIEW, California, March 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

According to a recent Frost & Sullivan in-depth end-user analysis of the commercial and industrial market, approximately 40 percent of respondents expect its electricity consumption to increase within the next two years. The question is, whether this sentiment is enough for customers to switch suppliers.

The perception is that the competitive environment in deregulated states is dictated by low customer loyalty, price competition, and low market entry barriers. There are approximately 24 states that have deregulated electricity markets. This webinar will gauge customer perception and choice for heavy electricity usage in the commercial and industrial space. The analysis profiles heavy electricity users within five different sectors including manufacturing, data centers, hospitals, education, and small franchise. The webinar will also evaluate the choices for energy management service.
