Energy reliability and the rising costs of electricity are among the energy challenges facing food growers and producers today.

These challenges are driving the need for simple and practical solutions that provide the agriculture industry with on-site, clean power generation.

An energy-as-a-service microgrid offers a simple solution for the industry, but what is energy-as-a-service? How do you know if it’s a good fit for your company?

To learn more about how energy-as-a-service can make it easier for agricultural companies and food producers to adopt microgrids, join us Tuesday, March 29 at 2 p.m. EST for a live webinar hosted by Microgrid Knowledge and featuring a panel of industry experts.

Registration is now open for the educational panel discussion, which will be held Tuesday, March 29 at 2 p.m. EST. Click here to register.

“Microgrids for the Food Industry: Simple and Practical Energy Solutions for the Agriculture Industry” will feature Dennis Donohue, director, Center for Innovation and Technology at the Western Growers Association, John Larrea, director of governmental affairs at the California League of Food Producers, and Brian Brogan, director of business development for GreenStruxure. Elisa Wood, editor-in-chief of Microgrid Knowledge will be the moderator. These industry experts will share insights and examples of how successful on-site power generation and microgrids used in the food industry have improved energy reliability and reduced the cost of electricity. 

During the one-hour webinar panelists will discuss:

  • Typical components of a microgrid and related forms of on-site generation.
  • Energy-as-a-service and how it might improve your productivity and cost structure.
  • Common criteria needed to determine if your company is a good fit for an energy-as-a-service solution.
