Alison Alvarez will be part of SECC's Smart Energy Exchange affordability panel next Tuesday, November 3, at 10:35 a.m. MT.

Affordability in Action will look at new research on how rising energy bills are affecting household budgets and customer trust, then give attendees a chance to work through potential solutions together.

Alison will be joined by Bill LeBlanc of Tierra Resource Consultants, Paul Watkins of Convey, Laurence Daniels of the Office of the People's Counsel, and Darleen DeRosa of Bidgely.

After the panel, Courtney Harms and Seth Koller will be at booth 6 in the Sponsor Lounge during the morning break. Stop by and say hello!

We asked our kids what they’d do if they ran BlastPoint for a day. 😂

The answers included being the boss, playing computer games instead of working, and exercising at work.

Honestly, we might have a few future leaders on our hands.
Here's what happens when you let the kids take over. 👇

Next week, we're heading to Denver for SECC's Smart Energy Exchange, November 2–4.

Courtney Harms and Seth Koller will be at booth 6 in the Sponsor Lounge with Know Your Territory, an eight-question game that puts public Census and DOE neighborhood data to the test.

Pick your utility, make your guesses, and see how the map compares with what you expected. It's a chance to get a different perspective on the communities you serve, and Courtney and Seth can walk you through what you're seeing.

Not all AI models offer the same level of explainability.

For financial institutions, understanding why a model makes a recommendation matters just as much as the recommendation itself. It's worth asking those questions before choosing a solution.

The utilities with the worst affordability exposure are not the ones charging the most.

We scored utilities on their effective rate against the poverty rate of the territory they serve. Most of the utilities carrying the heaviest pressure charge at or below the national average.

Which means a low rate does not tell you your customers can afford the bill.

You shouldn't have to wait for an examiner to find a bias problem in your model.

Auditing for bias gives you a chance to identify issues, understand what's causing them, and address them before they become a bigger problem.

If a model is making decisions that affect your members, you need to know what those decisions look like across different groups.

Half of Americans saw their electricity bill go up over the past year, and 31% struggled to pay it at least once.

Those are findings from a survey of more than 4,000 Americans by the Smart Energy Consumer Collaborative (SECC).

In a new piece for Factor This, SECC’s Nathan Shannon and BlastPoint’s Chris Medina look at those findings alongside our PressurePoint benchmark of 1,199 U.S. electric utilities to explore what energy affordability looks like for both households and utilities.

A few findings worth a closer look:
• 48% of low-income households struggled to pay their bills, more than double the rate for middle- and higher-income households.
• Affordability pressure looks different across the country. High prices drive more unpaid bills on the coasts, while poverty plays a bigger role in Southern disconnections, which reached five times the Northeast rate in 2024.
• More than half of customers who know about an assistance program use it. The challenge? Most programs are known to fewer than 3 in 10 people.

Utilities have an opportunity to help close that awareness gap, starting with one of the places customers already look: their monthly bill.

It’s P1FCU week at BlastPoint.

Last Tuesday, Taylor Malm from P1FCU took on the 100 Hole Golf Challenge at Quail Ridge Golf Course, playing 100 holes in one day to raise money for the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Lewis Clark Valley. Our logo got to tag along on his golf cart next to P1FCU’s, and we were happy to support him. 100 holes is no small feat!

Then on Thursday, we’ll be back together for our credit union roundtable, One Product Is Not a Relationship. Steven Reed, P1FCU’s SVP of Marketing, will share how the team is working to deepen member relationships and get more members to consider additional products.

Big thanks to Taylor, Steven, and the whole P1FCU team. We’re glad to be in your corner!

Explaining data is hard. Explaining what your parents do for work? Apparently, that’s hard too.

We asked our kids what they think we do all day, and the answers did not disappoint.

Rex says it’s where his aunt Courtney “lives at. Not lives at, works at.”

Violet says her mom tracks “contract circuses.”

Olive thinks we blast things out of the sky.

And Bria says data stands for “dance parties and treats always.”

Honestly, data can be a little hard to explain. It’s easy to get caught up in all the numbers and lose sight of the people behind them.

We help utilities, credit unions, and banks make sense of their data so they can better understand the people they serve.

Part 1 of 2. Thanks to our youngest (and most honest) reviewers. ❤️
