EO x SAP First Gen: Super El Niño: How To Keep Your Power Costs Down
Carlo Vega of First Gen is joining us on Thursday, November 12 to explain how a Super El Niño strains the power grid and how strategic energy programs can help insulate your business from rising utility costs, followed by happy hour with the chapter.
Most of us feel the cost of power in two places, in a utility bill that is hard to forecast and in the work that stops when supply gets unstable. A Super El Niño puts more pressure on the grid, and Carlo is walking us through what that pressure looks like from the energy side so you can think about it while there is still room to plan.
What you'll walk out with
A clear picture of how a Super El Niño strains the power grid, explained by someone from First Gen.
A better sense of how that strain can reach your business through utility costs that rise and swing in ways that are hard to budget for.
A look at the strategic energy programs businesses use to insulate themselves from those risks, and what to ask when you look into one for your own operations.
