This year, Eurelectric and Accenture set out to evaluate the impact of this commitment on a sample of 2,000 consumers across 10 European countries. Tune in to learn about the progress the sector has made so far and how different actors in the new energy ecosystem can better engage customers in the energy transition.

Key graphs and figures
Accenture’s study offers a clear snapshot of consumer perceptions and behaviours as they begin to actively engage in the energy transition. Learn more from our interactive graphs below
Changing consumer perceptions of energy services and solutions
Consumers were asked how they would rate changes to their Choice (new services and solutions), Control (affordability & inclusion), and Experience (simplicity and transparency). If you click to remove ‘About the same’ you’ll see that the majority of consumers that have engaged with new energy solutions have a positive response.
- More than a quarter of consumers reported more choice of services and solutions, and one in five felt more in control over energy usage and costs and found the experience simpler and more transparent.
- The group of consumers that have seen positive change in choice, control and experience is three to four times larger than those that have seen a reduction in these areas.
Percentage of consumers satisfied by new services
An overwhelming majority of consumers that have tried their suppliers’ new products and services, from home generation installation to energy savings schemes, have found them useful.
