Finally, you may also want to evaluate your utility provider based on their environmental and social impacts. Environmental impacts refer to how the provider sources, generates, or distributes their energy, and how that affects greenhouse gas emissions, renewable energy targets, or energy efficiency programs. Social impacts refer to how the provider supports, engages, or empowers their customers, communities, or stakeholders, and how that affects social justice, equity, or inclusion. You can consider environmental and social impacts by checking the provider's website, reports, or certifications, or by asking them about their sustainability goals, initiatives, or achievements.
Evaluating your utility provider's performance is an important step in energy management, as it can help you optimize your energy costs, quality, and impact. By using the tools and methods we have discussed, you can compare, analyze, assess, and consider different providers and tariffs, and choose the best one for your needs and preferences.
