Opto 22 Webinar Introduces "Energy Monitoring for Profit"

"Demand Response" programs can reward energy management with revenue

Temecula, CA - June 1, 2012 - Industrial controls manufacturer Opto 22 introduces the lucrative concept of "demand response" in a webinar on June 6. Many electrical energy providers offer demand response incentive programs to their customers in order to reduce electrical demand during peak use periods. Typically a utility customer is offered financial incentives for temporarily shedding electrical loads or shifting loads to a different time of day. A business participating in a demand response program can transform electrical energy use from the fixed cost it traditionally has been to a future source of revenue. The webinar is directed towards facility managers, plant engineers, business owners, and others responsible for managing and reducing energy use.

The webinar, "Energy Monitoring for Profit: Introducing Demand Response," covers the following topics: How power gets to a business; types of energy management programs and how they can save money; basic energy market terminology; and three simple steps to start a DR program. Also part of the webinar is a case study example of a SUPERVALU grocery distribution center.

The webinar will be held on Wednesday, June 6 at 9:00-9:45 a.m. PST. There is no cost to attend, but space is limited. To register and for more information, visit the Demand Response Webinar page on the Opto 22 website: http://op22.co/DRwebinar
