Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for benchmarking and comparing energy consumption of a particular consumer to a relevant set of comparison consumers using a system that maintains a database of payment information. Using the payment information and publicly available information, the system identifies comparison consumers, dwelling addresses, calculates energy consumption and generates consumer profiles containing dwelling, location and demographic characteristics. The system also compares profiles to identify “look-a-like” consumers and analyzes energy consumption to determine a benchmark and compares a particular consumer's consumption to the benchmark. The system also generates reports detailing the comparison and provides the report to consumers.
