• Share your experience with home electricity usage

  • UBINSIGHTS is currently looking for people to participate in an online research discussion about how electricity is used at home.

    We're interested in hearing from a wide range of households—whether you closely monitor your electricity bills, own solar panels or backup power equipment, charge an electric vehicle, or simply use electricity as part of your everyday routine.

    The study will take place as a small online focus group with 3–4 participants and 1 moderator. During the discussion, we'll talk about your experiences with household electricity use, energy-related products, and how you think about power and energy in your daily life.
