Opower HER Program

The Opower HER Program dimension contains shared data elements about Oracle Utilities Opower Home Energy Reports (HERs) and the deployment waves in which customers are placed. A deployment wave is used to track the year, month, and fuel type of a customer recipient or control group that is launched on Home Energy Reports.

Data Element Description

The identifier includes indicators for the year and month of the launch of HERs for a specific customer population, followed by the fuel type of the customer population. The fuel type can be E (electricity), G (gas), or D (dual fuel).
