Energy providers can drive customer acquisition, retention, and loyalty by using targeted incentives. Discover proven strategies to win new customers and keep them engaged year-round.
The Energy market’s new reality
The energy sector is transforming fast. With deregulation, greener options, and increased competition, customers now have more choice than ever. That means winning, and keeping, them takes more than competitive rates.
Incentives offer a way to create emotional loyalty in a traditionally transactional industry, while boosting measurable KPIs like customer lifetime value (CLV) and acquisition rates.
Incentives that resonate with energy customers
Referral Rewards Encourage your satisfied customers to refer friends or family. This taps into trust and community, still the most powerful conversion drivers.
Sustainability-Focused Incentives Offer rewards for switching to renewable plans, completing home energy audits, or adopting electric vehicles. These align your brand with customer values.
Cashback & Vouchers Provide tangible, immediate rewards for new sign-ups or plan upgrades.
Charity & Carbon Offset Contributions Let customers choose to direct their reward toward environmental causes, perfect for ESG-conscious consumers.
Think of it as “positive energy” — your customers will love you for it, and they might just tell everyone they know.
How to implement at scale

From acquisition to advocacy
The true ROI of incentives isn’t just in acquiring a customer, it’s in turning them into an advocate.By combining onboarding incentives with milestone rewards (e.g., anniversaries, usage goals), you create a journey customers want to share.
Key Takeaway:
Incentives can transform the customer experience in the energy sector from transactional to loyal, sustainable, and growth-focused.
