Price matters, but it’s service that makes the difference

Accessibility, a range of channels, consistency of response – personal customer service and digital networking are crucial competitive advantages for energy companies.

It’s about more than just price

Digitalisation design is key

From highly-competitive to cut-throat – comparison sites and the increased willingness of end customers to switch supplier makes for a difficult market for electricity providers. Successful energy companies, local electricity providers and public utilities have long since known: a fair electricity price alone is no longer sufficient for creating sustainable profits. Excellent customer service that’s also cost-effective is becoming increasingly important. Accessibility, a variety of channels and consistency of response – the end customers of today have higher demands. Targeted digitalisation, a prolonged customer lifecycle and the related lasting customer loyalty are becoming key factors for energy providers’ long-term success.

Did you know?

What good customer service means for German electricity customers:

  • almost half of electricity customers in Germany understand good customer service to mean digital self-service. This refers to online services where the customer can manage data and services themselves, such as their contract period, cancellation, tariff changes and payment collection date.
  • Around 41% of all electricity customers would like flexibility from their energy supplier when it comes to back billing.
