WORKSHOP CURRICULUM

Five modules built around real utility decisions

A structured curriculum designed to build technical capability and direct administrative action.

Module 1

Why Electricity Bills Are So Confusing

  • How utility companies construct rate margins
  • Fixed connection fees vs. variable volume consumption
  • Demand (kW) capacity charges vs. energy usage (kWh)
  • Why two identical facilities pay completely different bills
Practical Exercise: Participants identify and map core cost drivers from a real utility bill.
Module 2

Understanding Your Tariff

  • Navigating utility rate schedules and contracts
  • Demand ratchets and capacity billing penalties
  • Seasonal demand differences and utility riders
  • Decoding Time-of-Use (TOU) price brackets
Practical Exercise: Participants dissect a rate schedule to calculate bill simulations.
Module 3

Finding Savings Opportunities

  • Shifting load schedules away from peak pricing windows
  • Peak load shedding and peak shaving protocols
  • Power factor penalty triggers and capacitor optimizations
  • Rate migration: transitioning to alternative tariff plans
Case Study: A manufacturing facility implements load shifting to save $120,000 annually.
Module 4

Utility Bill Audit Workshop

  • Establishing a systematic monthly utility bill review
  • Highlighting common database and calculation utility errors
  • Key questions to present to utility representatives
  • Building an internal, review-based AP validation template
Practical Exercise: Live auditing workshop reviewing attendees' own utility bills.
Module 5

Executive Decision Framework

  • Identifying when to invest in mitigation vs. operational changes
  • ROI screening metrics and payback period calculations
  • Building a prioritized energy project matrix
  • Pitching energy upgrades to the CFO for capital sign-off
Key Deliverable: Construction of a personalized Action Plan to deploy immediately.
