Unlocking the Energy Contracting Opportunity
This CPD accredited seminar explores the potential of energy contracting and how it can realise Ireland's energy efficiency ambitions.
About this event
1.30pm - 4pm, Thursday 28th March, Minerva Suite, RDS
What is Energy Contracting? It has so much potential, but the Irish Market is not adopting it as quickly as others, and this event will explore why.
Energy Contracting is a brilliant opportunity for companies to save money, energy and reduce their carbon emissions. But how does it really work? And why aren't more Irish companies taking it up?
This event at the SEAI Energy Show is packed with top professionals in the field who will look at just that. With speakers from the US and the UK showing how Energy Contracting has been successfully adopted there, and professionals in Ireland explaining just how much potential there is for the Irish Market to take this on.
This event is crucial if you're planning a large scale energy upgrade for your business.
