Energy ManagementMarket Transformation …

Rapid Legislative, Regulatory and Market ChangePlethora of Energy Reduction Case Studies

Market transformation? While the theme of the 24th Annual Ohio Energy Management Conference may not ideally fit the term first coined in a paper presented at the American Council for an Energy Efficiency Economy (ACEEE) Summer Study in 1992, there’s little doubt about the rapid pace of significant change in Ohio this past year. Marking the start of this change, in April, Samuel C. Randazzo became the Chairman of the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO), appointed by Ohio’s new Governor, Mike DeWine. Mr. Randazzo has been a longtime, pro-consumer educator and General Counsel for the Industrial Energy Users-Ohio (IEU-Ohio). In an interview published on January 20, 2017 in the Columbus Business First, Mr. Randazzo indicated that this annual energy management conference was “regarded by the business community as the best statewide energy conference in the nation.”

Then, on October 22, 2019, the highly-debated, HB 6, creating the Ohio Clean Air Program, became law. Interestingly, positions on HB 6 saw strong divergence amongst stakeholders with it being strongly supported by organizations like the Ohio AFL-CIO and opposed by The Ohio Manufacturers’ Association and others. The law was arguably the most significant energy development in Ohio since the passage of SB 3 in 1999 which set the stage for giving consumers choice in their electric generation provider. Additionally, the Ohio General Assembly currently has several bills pending that could impact the energy marketplace. This includes HB 247, revising Ohio’s competitive retail electric law. Finally, Ohio has continued to see ever-lower natural gas and power prices in both the spot and forward markets. Coupled with the changing guard at the PUCO, and the newly legislated market support for legacy generation as provided by HB 6, Ohio has seen tremendous upheaval in its energy markets over the course of a very short time horizon.

At the 24th Annual Ohio Energy Management Conference, you will obtain valuable information on the ‘market transformation, the rapid pace of change’ and how to better manage your energy costs. Among the features of the 2020 conference is, again, a plethora of best practices and case studies from Ohio companies and their awarding-winning, leading-edge initiatives in energy reduction and efficiency.

Inspired by AEP-Ohio’s annual energy efficiency awards, honoring Energy Efficiency Champions for their contributions to increasing energy efficiency within their organizations and reducing their energy usage, you’ll receive priceless insights from award-winning initiatives from a diverse set of organizations such as: Honda of America Manufacturing (Marysville), Mount Carmel Health Systems (Columbus), Reynoldsburg City Schools, Cooper Tire & Rubber Company (Findlay), Columbus City Schools, Bridgestone APM Company (Upper Sandusky), OhioHealth (Columbus), General Motors Corp. (Warren, MI), Miami University (Oxford), Kenworth Truck Co. (Chillicothe), Giant Eagle (Pittsburgh), Plaskolite, LLC, (Columbus), The Ohio State University (Columbus), Abercrombie & Fitch (New Albany), and Fostoria City Schools. ‘Energy savings come alive’ insights will be shared by the opening keynote, Scott Moline, Manager, Engineering, The Wendy’s Company, on saving $1 million and achieving their 20% goal reduction in energy.

Attend the 24th Annual Ohio Energy Management Conference and benefit from both micro & macro energy management issues. “I like the broad range of topics, some at the 10,000-foot view and some down in the weeds,” according to previous conference attendee, Matthew M. Morris, Reliability Engineer & Energy Manager, North Star Blue Scope Steel, Delta, Ohio. The lineup of keynote speakers is the best ever, featuring the most-popular, panel on Powering the Future of Ohio’s Economy and luncheon keynotes on General Motors’ Strategy towards Zero Emissions sponsored by AEP Energy and Creating Economic Value Through Alignment of Supply & Demand Strategies. New for the 2020 conference are interactive roundtables. IEU-Ohio-members-led, Session R on business involvement in the legislative & regulatory process, features legislators and representatives of Vallourec STAR LP, Marathon Petroleum Corporation, Globe Metallurgical, Inc, and Eramet Marietta Inc.
