Managing energy usage is challenging for all customer segments, but perhaps none more so than in the industrial sector. For industrial energy consumers, new technologies and methodologies are emerging as a means of providing a whole-facility savings from utility programs. But successfully deploying the most advanced solutions can be challenging. This day-long meeting will explore many of the challenges and solutions that industrial customers face with an added focus on providing long-term savings and ongoing engagement.
Registration is now closed. There will be limited seats available for in person attendees.

AGENDA:
9:00 AM - Breakfast and Networking
10:00 AM - Introduction, Safety and ETCC Updates
10:15 AM - Understanding Customer Energy Management Needs
While industrial customers agree that managing energy usage is critical, specific approaches vary significantly among customers. This session highlights the differences and similarities between energy management perspectives and deployment practices from the points of view of both industrial energy users and utilities alike.

11:15 AM - Implementation Opportunities
Understanding where the largest potential opportunities reside for technology solutions is crucial to designing effective utility programs for industrial customers. However, it’s not just the technology itself that can deliver all the potential, but how the technology is wrapped into a utility program that addresses customer pain points. This session explores particular industrial customer challenges with managing their energy consumption and how a menu of technologies and approaches can potentially help to overcome those challenges.
