How it Works

I wonder how companies like mine… manage energy, think about key energy issues, make energy decisions, plan for the future… ?

The Energy Research Council Panel (ERC) is a community of business executives who exchange ideas, opinions, and practices about energy topics. You'll receive email notification of available surveys that match your profile and reflect the issues that are relevant to you. We won’t waste your time on topics that are not aligned with your responsibilities or interests. As a member of the Panel, your input and feedback will make a real impact on the ERC's research activities and the development of new energy products and services for businesses like yours. You will receive summaries of the research you participate in and stay informed about cutting edge energy issues. All we ask for is your honest feedback in return.

We appreciate your commitment to the program and look forward to getting to know you better as part of the Energy Research Council Panel.
