You can’t control what you can’t predict: Managing energy costs in food & drink
Energy is now one of the biggest and most unpredictable costs in food and drink manufacturing.
This webinar explores how businesses can regain control - reducing exposure to volatile energy markets while improving operational resilience.
Join Enel X and Powerstar's experts as they share practical strategies to manage energy cost and risk, including:
- Why energy is now a strategic business risk - not just a utility cost
- The impact of energy price volatility on margins and profitability
- How grid reliance is increasing cost and risk
- The role of battery energy storage (BESS) and smart optimisation
- Real-world examples of cost savings and performance improvements
- What a practical next step looks like for your site
If you’re responsible for managing costs, maintaining production, or planning future investment, this session will give you a clearer view of where risk sits - and what you can do about it.
