Examples and case studies will be presented showing both favorable and detrimental scenarios based on the type of utility invoicing. The goal of this program is to educate the audience on how alternative energy projects can affect your “bottom line” allowing for improved decision making.     \nThree parts to the program: \n1.	Bills and understanding with utilities and where you fit in the grid \n2.	Right-sizing who you are and the line items of your bill \n3.	Case studies and examples provided. The committee mentions: Some notable things worked on for Fortune 200\, 500\, Universities and Pharma. \n Topics to address in the program include: \n1.	What do clients need the most? \n2.	Breakdown of invoices \n3.	Do you have the smallest footprint that you can? Rightsizing your company. \n4.	Energy management and where do you fit? Where are your holes? \n5.	Three parts that are Planet\, People and Profit for both gas and power. (The committee says this will be the theme of the Energy Briefing program in February 2024. \n6.	Time of use rates. What is peak and how does it translate to your bill and impact the bottom line.  \n\n\nAbout this event:\nRegistration is required.
