Topic: Power Moves: Energy Savings That Pay for Themselves

Energy is now one of the most controllable costs on your plant floor, and one of the most misunderstood. This month’s session is about practical projects with measurable payback, not sustainability buzzwords.

Join manufacturers, engineers, and operations leaders for a morning of straightforward insight.

What you’ll learn:

• No/low-cost efficiency wins: Simple operational changes that cut energy use without major capital investment.

• Demand charges and peak shaving: Why a single 15-minute spike can drive a large share of your monthly bill, and how load management, scheduling, and storage reduce it.

• Compressed air and waste heat: Often the most expensive utility in a plant, compressed air is full of savings from leak detection, pressure optimization, and heat recovery.

• Electrifying process heat: When heat pumps, induction, and electric technologies make financial and operational sense compared to gas-fired systems.

• PPAs and RECs 101: A clear explanation of power purchase agreements and renewable energy certificates, including what’s available to businesses in Georgia.

• Supplier emissions data: Large customers increasingly ask suppliers to report carbon emissions. Learn what they’re requesting and how to prepare.

Who should attend: Plant managers, facilities and maintenance leaders, engineers, operations executives, CFOs, and anyone responsible for controlling costs or meeting customer sustainability requirements.
