The Povaddo Panel Omnibus introduces a new shared-survey format that makes high-quality policy professional insights accessible at a fraction of the cost of a bespoke study

ST. LOUIS, May 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Povaddo, a leading provider of public opinion and policy elite research, today announced the launch of the Povaddo Panel Omnibus — a new research service that gives companies and organizations an efficient, cost-effective way to access public policy professional insights across the United States and Europe. Unlike Povaddo’s custom research offerings, the omnibus format allows multiple organizations to share survey space, significantly reducing cost while maintaining the same access to high-quality insights.

Launched in 2018, the Povaddo Panel was built to meet the growing demand for research insights from individuals who shape, influence, and analyze public policy as part of their daily work. Over the past eight years, the panel has grown to nearly 5,000 public policy professionals worldwide, including more than 2,000 in the United States. Many panelists are former elected officials, including former Members of Congress. Each panelist is individually verified to ensure both authenticity and quality.

The 2026 Povaddo Panel Omnibus schedule includes three waves, with the first launching on June 15. Companies and organizations can field questions among 200 U.S. public policy professionals and/or 200 European public policy professionals, with results delivered within two weeks. Pricing begins at $4,500 for a five-question package among one audience, or $8,000 for both the U.S. and European audiences. Each omnibus package includes:

To learn more, reserve space in an upcoming wave, or submit questions, please visit the “Omnibus” section of Povaddo’s website or email omnibus@povaddo.com.

“Companies and organizations that want to understand what public policy professionals think—whether about their brand or an issue they are facing—now have a new and more streamlined way to do so. While organizations have long been able to commission custom research through Povaddo, our new omnibus survey among public policy professionals fills an important need in the research marketplace,” said Brooke Hayes, Executive Vice President of Povaddo, who oversees the Povaddo Panel and the firm’s new omnibus research service.

“The organizations that navigate complex policy environments most successfully are the ones that understand how the policy community thinks. The Povaddo Panel Omnibus makes that kind of insight accessible and actionable for any organization that needs it,” said William Stewart, President and Founder of Povaddo. “What’s more, we know many senior management teams are keen to measure their organizations’ reputation among this elite audience.”

The Povaddo Panel Omnibus launches alongside Povaddo’s most recent thought leadership study, which illustrates the kind of distinctive insights the panel is uniquely positioned to deliver. Povaddo’s 2026 survey of public policy professionals in the U.S. and Europe examines attitudes toward artificial intelligence, including AI regulation, labor market impact, misinformation risk, and the broader existential concerns of the policy community. A high-level summary of select key findings is available on Povaddo’s website, and the complete 38-page report is available for purchase at $500.

Expansion comes as policy shifts and rising power costs accelerate demand for residential energy storage

SYDNEY, May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — FranklinWH, a leading provider of whole-home energy management and battery storage solutions, today announced the launch of its enhanced 15 kWh aPower battery in Australia and New Zealand, as demand for residential energy storage continues to grow, driven by evolving policy settings and increasing interest in energy independence.

The updated aPower builds on the company’s established platform, increasing usable capacity from 13.6 kWh to 15 kWh and raising warrantied throughput from 43 MWh to 60 MWh, an increase of 40 percent. These updates deliver more usable energy over the life of the system while maintaining the same footprint and price.

“The energy landscape is shifting quickly, and more homeowners are thinking beyond the upfront specs to what really pays off over time,” said Steve Ruskin, General Manager of FranklinWH Australia. “This upgrade is about delivering more performance over the life of the system, more usable energy, greater throughput, while staying true to our ‘buy once, buy right’ philosophy.”

The increase in warrantied throughput translates into savings for homeowners. Based on typical usage patterns and an electricity rate of A$0.35 per kilowatt-hour, the additional throughput may represent up to approximately A$5,950 in value over the lifetime of the system. The increase in usable capacity also improves energy density, lowering the effective cost per kilowatt-hour and supporting more efficient use of stored energy.

The 15 kWh configuration also aligns with current and upcoming policy frameworks benefitting residential battery adoption. This includes the updated Cheaper Home Batteries Program, with changes coming into effect for Australian homeowners from 1 May, 2026, helping households maximise value as incentives continue to evolve.

As the residential battery market expands, FranklinWH continues to focus on reliability and system performance. The aPower incorporates design elements to support durability, including structural reinforcement to reduce cell stress over time, per-cell temperature monitoring, and the separation of the battery pack and control systems to maintain reliable performance.

“We believe performance should be measured over years, not just at installation,” Ruskin added. “We focus on building systems that deliver consistent, reliable results over time. That long-term perspective is what ultimately defines value for homeowners.”

The aPower is designed to operate as part of the FranklinWH System, an integrated home energy management platform that coordinates energy generation, storage, and consumption. The system is designed to optimise multiple energy inputs, provide reliable backup power, and support more efficient and independent energy use at the household level.
