Al Gore’s movie and Nobel Prize, Kyoto, green credits, demand response, wind farms, smart grids, record oil prices and the list of reasons energy is such a hot topic goes on and on. Venture capitalists poured over $148 billion into clean energy technologies last year alone.

According to a Wall Street Journal survey of the Fortune 1000 annual reports, over 65% of these companies have the support of the CEO and Board for clean energy initiatives.

It’s a dizzying sea change of activity in the energy markets that will affect the next few years and beyond in ways we have never seen before. The impact on multi-site organizations is being felt from the bottom line to the boardroom to store operations and beyond. Focus on energy management from commodity procurement, facilities management, environmental controls, utility program management, and the myriad of options for efficiency projects and incentives, not to mention the swarm of vendors knocking on the door, is creating unique issues for multi site companies. The need for help in sorting this out, tracking it and making sure the performance and return on investment is captured has never been higher.

Join Peter Weigand at AMTdirect’s 2008 User Conference for a discussion on clean energy technologies, current and pending regulatory changes and key trends that will impact your organization in the very near future. Also learn how AMTdirect is getting involved to develop technology aimed at helping multi site companies manage their energy programs.
