Food Merchants Association: Watts Up with Electricity Seminar On May 20

With electricity rate caps expiring over the next two years, business owners could be looking at a 30 to 60 percent increase in their electric utility bills. That's why the Pennsylvania Food Merchants Association and Pennsylvania Convenience Store Council are offering the "Watts Up With Electricity" seminar on May 20 at the Harrisburg Hilton.

 

The seminar will provide attendees with valuable energy saving ideas that will help them offset the costs of increased electric rates.

 

Energy expert John Bodine, On Demand Energy, Inc., will present energy management strategies that can help businesses save money and make those rate increases more manageable. On Demand Energy's team works with energy supply, utilities and utility rate structures. They have many years experience analyzing electricity usage patterns, evaluating supply options and recommending suppliers to help save businesses money on their electricity.

 

The Pennsylvania Food Merchants Association and Pennsylvania Convenience Store Council, a statewide trade association representing the state's grocery and convenience store industries, is sponsoring the seminar.

 

"Anyone who owns a business that uses electricity should attend this session," said David L. McCorkle, PFMA president and CEO. "While we're offering this seminar to our members, we thought it would be helpful to offer it to anyone doing business in Pennsylvania. After all, everyone will be affected when the rate caps are lifted."

 

Register for the "Watts Up With Electricity?" seminar, scheduled for 1:15 – 2:45 p.m., May 20, at the Harrisburg Hilton, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The seminar costs just $40. Seating is limited. To register, visit the PFMA website or call Jamie Overmiller at 800-543-8207.
