As a company with large industrial, office, or other commercial facilities looking to optimize your energy strategy, you must strike the right balance between cost, resilience, and net-zero objectives.  Achieving this requires advanced modeling and feasibility analyses that consider both the short and long terms.

In this session, we took an in-depth exploration of real-world approaches, strategies, and tools for integrating renewable energy resources, enhancing electrical resilience, streamlining implementation timelines, and achieving cost-effective decarbonization through distributed energy.

**Key takeaways:**

- How to create multi-phase energy plans that align with sustainability goals and budget
- Strategies to reduce OpEx while improving energy reliability and flexibility
- Tools for accelerating implementation timelines and maximizing ROI on distributed energy resources

Presenters:

- **Brett McQuillan, PE,** Sustainability Design Consultant, Affiliated Engineers, Inc.
- **Santos Tobias,** Lead Electrical Designer, Affiliated Engineers, Inc.
- **Lulu Arias** – Director of Customer Success, Xendee
