ENERGY SESSIONS at E4
We are pleased to offer the following energy related programs:
Tuesday, October 11
10:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
Today's Energy Costs: How Do the Dollars Work?
Energy costs continue to frustrate many businesses. Some managers await
relief in the form of lower fuel prices. Forward-thinking companies are
proactively reducing their energy waste — and by doing so, they convert unwanted
costs into much-needed profits. Many companies have "discovered" the wrong way to
deal with energy costs. Invariably, they have assigned the task to one
person or department, and rely on improvement "projects" while other operations
continue business-as-usual. Companies with successful energy cost control have
developed an on-going energy management plan to reduce costs and boost
productivity through energy improvements. This presentation outlines the "people"
issues that are the key to achieving durable energy cost control.
Monday, September 25
2:00pm - 3:15pm
Winning Strategies for Energy Performance Contracting: Performance
Contracting — Historical Perspective and Future Opportunity
A session to discuss the past 15-20 years of performance contracting and the
future of the industry with respect to the growing energy crisis, widening
gap in funding verses need, and emerging technologies to be considered.
Specifically the presentation will address the following:
- Historical impact of the Performance Contracting industry
- Development process lessons
- Early measures and the change in the deliverables over time
- Legislative Enablers
- Successes to model after and pitfalls to avoid
The session will include real examples of projects completed and examples
and tool that the attendees can use to determine if this method of
implementation and financing is right for them.
Monday, September 25
3:45pm - 5:00pm
Demand Side Management - Sessions 1 & 2
Session 1: Behind the Meter: A Look into Demand Side Opportunities
In today's volatile energy market, perhaps the greatest way for a business
to control their operating costs pertaining to energy is through managing
their demand. There are many opportunities for managing demand, including energy
conservation, energy efficiency upgrades and load management. Controlling
energy demand is also critical in securing your energy supply and minimizing
procurement risks. This presentation will discuss: the meaning of demand side
management and why it is so important; where energy is typically consumed and
what the opportunities are for energy savings; the demand side management
process and how to fund and contract for these projects; available incentives
through EPACT and state and utility programs; helpful links and next steps and
some case studies. This presentation meets the objectives of E4 by providing
business leaders valuable technical, financial and market information, which
will inform them of economic opportunities pertaining to energy.
Session 2: Creating a First Class Energy Management System
Tackling high energy costs and upholding environmental responsibility
require a sophisticated energy management solution. Our presentation addresses
how, through increased visibility into energy consumption data, any facility can
take immediate action to decrease their energy usage and emissions output.
We will demonstrate an effective method to manage electricity, gas, and water
consumption, which optimizes energy usage, decreases costs, and minimizes
emissions output.
Case studies, based on the experiences of two New York corporations, will
support the presentation:
- Company A, a natural gas provider, optimized gas purchases to prevent spot
buys in the event of low supply. During the six month winter season, they
avoided $300,000 in cost by monitoring their gas supply and usage.
- Company B, tracked energy conservation and reduced emissions output across
multiple industrial facilities. Their successful initiative resulted in a
surplus of RGGI credits.
Tuesday, September 26
11:00am - 12:15pm
New Developments in Emissions Trading Markets
Creating Energy Efficiency Credits: The Promise of White Tags
Participants - Sterling Planet, Inc & EcoSecurities
Sterling Planet launched operations in January 2001 as the nation's first
provider of a renewable energy choice available in all 50 states. At the time,
people said it couldn't be done. Now we're pressing additional frontiers,
with a primary focus on partnering with electric utilities to give their
customers a renewable energy choice and to develop new sources of renewable energy
generation. We're also leading the way in renewable energy sales to
business, nearing yet another major milestone: nearly 2 billion kilowatt hours of
renewable energy sold.
Our mission: To lead the migration to sustainable energy that is good for
the environment, the economy, and all current and future generations
EcoSecurities is a leading originator, developer and trader of carbon
credits in the global emission reduction market. To date, EcoSecurities has
participated in the creation of significant volumes of carbon credits, having worked
in a wide range of countries over five continents and structured projects
in more than 20 countries around the world.

1:15pm - 2:15pm
Energy Development in New York - Do I Make the Investment?
Deregulation resulted in the historic utility monopolies unbundling their
generating assets and selling them to wholesale generating companies. Many of
these companies have experienced significant financial strains in the market
and are far from able to do the effective long range planning and investing
that was historically done by the monopoly utilities. Long-term energy
management must define demand needs and plan for facilities and technologies able to
fill those demand needs. This presentation will address the progress to date
in deregulation and speculate on future efforts to meet New York's energy
requirements. How will the New York Energy Plan be actualized? Who is likely to
lead the way in investments? What is the need for new facilities based on
existing unit retirements and demand growth? What are the barriers to entry?
