通过向客户提供有关家庭电力和天然气使用情况的反馈，并重点进行同行比较，公用事业公司可以以较低的成本减少能源消耗。我们分析了由提供电力（萨克拉门托市政公用事业区 (SMUD)）和电力和天然气（普吉特海湾能源 (PSE)）的公用事业公司与私营公司 Positive Energy/oPower 合作进行的两项大规模随机分配现场实验的数据，该公司每月或每季度向客户邮寄同行反馈报告。我们发现能源消耗减少了 1.2% (PSE) 至 2.1% (SMUD)，并且随着时间的推移（七个月 (PSE) 和十二个月 (SMUD)）持续减少。
By providing feedback to customers on home electricity and natural gas usage with a focus on peer comparisons, utilities can reduce energy consumption at a low cost. We analyze data from two large-scale, random-assignment field experiments conducted by utility companies providing electricity (the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD)) and electricity and natural gas (Puget Sound Energy (PSE)), in partnership with a private company, Positive Energy/oPower, which provides monthly or quarterly mailed peer feedback reports to customers. We find reductions in energy consumption of 1.2% (PSE) to 2.1% percent (SMUD), with the decrease sustained over time (seven months (PSE) and twelve months (SMUD)).
