Topic: Big Changes Coming to Electric Utilities
When: Friday, Feb 12, 2016 at 8:30 am
Electric bills are a major cost factor for most foundries. Until recently, such costs have been relatively stable. However, many changes to your electric service are leading to increased costs, with more big changes on the way.
This presentation will review the current state of the electric utilities and many of the factors that will shape how they evolve in the future.
TDI President, Brian Reinke, presented "Your Electric Bill - What's in it For You?" at the 2015 International Melting Conference in Nashville, TN on Thursday, October 8.
Reinke shared insights on where significant savings are hidden in plain sight within the electric bill of most companies.
TDI President, Brian Reinke, led a panel discussion at the AFS Metalcasting Congress conference in Columbus, Ohio on April 22, 2015. The topic was "Energy Treasure Hunt Best Practices". The panel shared real world examples of how they have enhanced the EPA-sponsored program and provided tips on how foundries can find additional savings in utilities and operations expenses.
