18th Annual
Ohio Energy Management Conference
Ohio Energy, Economy, Growth & Job Creation With a large population and a heavily industrial economy, Ohio is among the top States in total energy consumption. The industrial sector dominates energy consumption, largely due to several energy-intensive industries, including chemicals, glass, metal casting, and steel. Coal fueled 78 percent of Ohio’s net electricity generation, nuclear energy contributed 11 percent, and natural gas added another 8.9 percent, according to the most recent data available from EIA. In September, the U.S. EPA announced draft rules to slash pollution from new U.S. coal-fired power plants—a move that, once finalized, is expected to freeze construction of U.S. coal plants, the chief contributor to carbon pollution. The move comes as one of a series of aggressive executive-branch actions being pushed by President Obama as he seeks to fight climate change without help from Congress. Due to what some call the U.S. EPA’s ‘war on coal,’ 8 of 22 coal-fired power plants in Ohio, operated by AEP, Duke Energy & FirstEnergy are scheduled to close before June 15, 2015. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported that 175 plants nationwide are expected to close between 2012 and 2016, and that coal-fired capacity will be reduced by 8.5 percent. While in the long-run, for Ohio’s economy & environment, the resurgence of locally-produced oil and gas from the Ohio Shale boom will be economically beneficial, there are some short-term costs to pay including significantly higher capacity costs, with some regions experiencing cumulative capacity cost increases of 1300% as the generation market adjusts from coal-fired plants to facilities powered by natural gas. Electricity prices, particularly in areas where coal was the primarily source of fuel for power, will face significant upward pressure. According to an energy research white paper prepared by the Shaker Heights-based energy management firm, Brakey Energy, capacity charges may be the second largest expense on electric bills and advises simple steps for big savings. To mitigate the impact of capacity costs, their recommended steps include: install an interval meter, peak demand curtailment in response to capacity alerts, shifting electric load to natural gas powered processes, energy efficiency measures, on-site generation, demand response programs defaulting to Standard Offer Service and generation contract negotiations. Attend the 18th Annual Ohio Energy Management Conference and receive priceless insights on electricity rates in the near future as the transition from coal to natural gas is made. As always, energy savings opportunities, energy efficiency, and how emerging technologies can help you reduce energy consumption will be major components of this annual conference. Several sessions will share with you the best practices in energy management providing you with valuable insights on effective, efficient & innovative use of energy. You’ll also obtain valuable information on the numerous financial incentives, grant funding, tax credits for energy efficiency projects, renewable and offset improvements to help your organization get a better return on your investment. In addition, you’ll receive the latest information on the significant rate developments for AEP Ohio, FirstEnergy, Duke Energy and DPL as well as shopping opportunities, energy efficiency projects, renewable energy efforts and demand response programs offered by each of the electric utilities operating in Ohio. Again, featured at the 2014 Ohio conference is a plethora of best practices and case studies from Ohio companies and their leading-edge initiatives. Register today for the largest energy management conference in America’s Heartland and reduce your energy costs & take advantage of savings opportunities now!
Information From This Conference Will Pay Huge Dividends in Savings on Your Energy Costs This conference is ideal for the full-time energy manager/engineer and for the manager/professional with other energy responsibilities along with a ‘plate-full’ of other duties.
