total energy management for manufacturers
TRANSCRIPT
Manufacturing consumes 51 percent1 of the world’s energy and accounts for 30 percent2 of consumption in the U.S. With such scale, smart manufacturers are approaching energy management as a key business strategy and a source of competitive advantage, rather than just an exercise in tracking commodity prices.

WHAT IS TOTAL ENERGY MANAGEMENT?
In 2014, a polar vortex left Ultra-Poly, a Pennsylvania-based recycling company, with significantly higher-than-normal energy bills. They turned to Direct Energy Business for a solution to protect from unpredictable markets and save money.
PowerPortfolio®, a managed purchasing solution
Demand Response, a curtailment solution
