FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A	RESEARCH: IN 2019, SECC RELEASED FIVE PIECES OF RESEARCH SEEKING TO BETTER UNDERSTAND SMART ENERGY CONSUMERS - THEIR PERCEPTIONS, ATTITUDES AND NEEDS - AND THEN LEVERAGE THIS UNDERSTANDING TO FORMULATE ACTIONS THAT UTILITIES AND OTHER ENERGY SERVICE PROVIDERS CAN TAKE TO BETTER SERVE AND ENGAGE WITH THEIR CUSTOMERS. IN ADDITION, SECC PRODUCED THREE CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT CASE STUDIES THAT PROFILED HOW ENERGY UTILITIES IN THE U.S. ARE MAKING SIGNIFICANT STRIDES IN EDUCATING AND ENGAGING THEIR CUSTOMERS ABOUT HOW TO BETTER CONTROL THEIR ENERGY USE, THE RESULTING UTILITY COSTS AND THE BENEFITS OF SHIFTING THEIR CONSUMPTION. ALL OF THESE RESOURCES WERE PUT TOGETHER BY A VOLUNTEER-BASED RESEARCH COMMITTEE CONSISTING OF MEMBERS WHO HELPED SHAPE SECC'S RESEARCH AGENDA, REVIEWED DETAILED FINDINGS AND DISCUSSED THE IMPLICATIONS AND PRESENTATION OF THOSE FINDINGS. SECC RELEASED THE MOST CURRENT VERSION OF ITS ANNUAL 2019 STATE OF THE CONSUMER REPORT, AN ANALYSIS OF FIVE 2018 RESEARCH STUDIES THAT PROVIDED AN UP-TO-DATE LOOK AT MAJOR TRENDS REGARDING THE MOTIVATIONS, BEHAVIORS AND ATTITUDES OF U.S. ENERGY CUSTOMERS. SECC RELEASED ITS CONSUMER VALUES: MOVING THE NEEDLE ON ENGAGEMENT REPORT, AN EXPLORATION OF THE MOTIVATIONS, BEHAVIORS AND ATTITUDES OF "SELECTIVELY ENGAGED" RESIDENTIAL ENERGY CONSUMERS, A GROUP OF APPROXIMATELY 40% OF CONSUMERS THAT ENGAGE SELECTIVELY. THE REPORT ASSISTS ELECTRICITY PROVIDERS IN BETTER SERVING SELECTIVELY ENGAGED CONSUMERS BY OFFERING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR OVERCOMING THE TOP BARRIERS TO ENGAGEMENT, INCLUDING THE HIGH COST OF ENERGY-RELATED UPGRADES, THE LACK OF KNOWLEDGE ON WHAT STEPS TO TAKE TO BE MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT AND THE DIFFICULTY IN TAKING ADVANTAGE OF REBATES AND OTHER PROGRAMS. SECC RELEASED ITS CONSUMER PULSE AND MARKET SEGMENTATION - WAVE 7 REPORT, THE LATEST IN SECC'S FLAGSHIP RESEARCH SERIES ON U.S. CONSUMERS' ENERGY- RELATED ACTIONS, ATTITUDES AND INTERESTS. IT PROVIDES DETAILED PROFILES FOR EACH OF THE FOUR NEW CONSUMER SEGMENTS - GREEN INNOVATORS, TECH-SAVVY PROTGS, MOVABLE MIDDLE AND ENERGY INDIFFERENT - AND OFFERS SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS FOR HOW ELECTRICITY PROVIDERS CAN BETTER ENGAGE AND SERVE EACH SEGMENT. SECC RELEASED ITS RATE DESIGN: WHAT DO CONSUMERS WANT AND NEED? REPORT, AN EXPLORATION OF THE COMMON ALTERNATIVE RATES AVAILABLE TODAY - INCLUDING TIME-OF-USE RATES, REAL-TIME PRICING AND VARIABLE PEAK PRICING - AND THE FACTORS THAT MAKE FOR SUCCESS IN TERMS OF CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT. IT ALSO PROVIDES RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PROGRAM DESIGN, CONSUMER EDUCATION AND OUTREACH EFFORTS THAT, IF APPLIED, WILL MEET RESIDENTIAL AND SMB CUSTOMERS' NEEDS AND INCREASE THE LIKELIHOOD OF ADOPTION OF ALTERNATIVE RATE DESIGNS. SECC RELEASED ITS DISTRIBUTED ENERGY RESOURCES: MEETING CONSUMER NEEDS REPORT, AN EXPLORATION OF WHAT CONSUMERS KNOW ABOUT DERS, WHAT BENEFITS THEY EXPECT, WHAT BARRIERS HINDER ADOPTION, HOW PROGRAMS SHOULD BE DELIVERED AND MORE. IT ALSO PROVIDES RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ELECTRICITY PROVIDERS THAT CAN HELP DRIVE CONSUMER AWARENESS AND ENGAGEMENT AROUND VARIOUS DISTRIBUTED ENERGY RESOURCES, INCLUDING ROOFTOP SOLAR, BATTERY STORAGE, HOME ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS, DEMAND RESPONSE AND MORE. FINALLY, SECC RELEASED THREE NEW CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT SUCCESS STORIES COVERING SACRAMENTO MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT, NB POWER AND AEP OHIO. EACH CASE STUDY SPOTLIGHTS HOW SMART METERS OR SMART GRID DEPLOYMENTS BY THESE UTILITIES HAVE ENGAGED CONSUMERS TO ENABLE THEM TO MATCH THE ENERGY THEY USE WITH THEIR NEEDS AND LIFESTYLES. THE SACRAMENTO MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT CASE STUDY DETAILS AN E-COMMERCE PLATFORM THEY LAUNCHED IN OCTOBER 2017 WITH A CURATED SET OF CUSTOMER- REQUESTED PRODUCTS, INCLUDING SMART THERMOSTATS, CONNECTED HOME PRODUCTS, LED LIGHTING, ADVANCED POWER STRIPS AND MORE. THE NB POWER CASE STUDY DETAILS HOW THE UTILITY DEVELOPED A NEW THREE-YEAR PLAN TO MAXIMIZE CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT IN ENERGY EFFICIENCY BY LAUNCHING NEW PROGRAMS AND DEVELOPING NEW MARKETING STRATEGIES. THE AEP OHIO CASE STUDY SHOWS HOW THE UTILITY PLANNED TO INSTALL ROUGHLY 900,000 SMART METERS ACROSS THE STATE OF OHIO OVER A FOUR-YEAR PERIOD, WHILE DEVELOPING A SUITE OF CONSUMER TOOLS TO HARNESS AMI DATA, IMPROVE CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT AND ENCOURAGE ENERGY SAVINGS.
