BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Lodi Electric Utility (LEU) recently participated in the 2024 California Municipal Utilities Association (CMUA) Statewide Utility Industry Survey and accepted a CMUA invitation to commission a customer satisfaction survey specific to LEU key accounts. The costs for LEU participation in the statewide survey and local Business and Key Account Customer Satisfaction Survey were $6,390 and $8,500, respectively.
The statewide survey and the oversample of LEU electric key accounts were performed by GreatBlue Research. GreatBlue Research has been conducting comprehensive qualitative and quantitative customer and employee research on behalf of the utility industry over the last four decades, and serves as the American Public Power Association preferred research partner. In 2022, CMUA selected GreatBlue Research as its new service provider for statewide customer surveying and oversampling. GreatBlue Research performed LEU's customer satisfaction surveys in 2016, 2019 and 2022.
