Session Description

Measuring where power goes gets a company on the path to conserving and lowering expenses. Also, many grain elevators and processing facilities either have carbon reduction goals currently, or will have requirements imposed on them by their customers in the near future. While solar and wind are existing and known technologies, facility leaders must understand what outcomes they need so that systems are sized correctly and optimized for payback. Right now, there are several sources for incentives and grants, as well as option to lease renewables and their benefits. We will provide a clear outline for the steps a company can take to achieve their goals as cost-effectively as possible.
