Case Study: Energy Trust of Oregon streamlines program evaluations with Recurve

Energy Trust Of Oregon Streamlines Program Evaluations

Energy Trust of Oregon faced a backlog of programs needing impact evaluations, along with limited budgets and a long, manual evaluation cycle. To speed things up, the organization used Recurve’s platform for impact evaluation and pay-for-performance work, aiming to automate data preparation, analysis, and reporting.

Using Recurve, Energy Trust of Oregon standardized its evaluation process into a monthly cadence, with ETL-based data cleaning and CalTRACK-aligned auditing built in. Recurve also helped the team build comparison groups for different program types, enabling Energy Trust to evaluate more programs—up to a dozen impact evaluations per year, more than four times its previous pace, at similar or lower annual cost.
