SAN DIEGO, CA — In an era of deregulation, figuring out how a supermarket is going to get the energy it needs is a challenge to the nth degree.
Those charged with such a task gathered at the 21st-annual Food Marketing Institute Energy & Technical Services Conference here. One session focused on “Getting the Best Rate: Strategies for Energy Procurement.” But if the attendees hoped to get a unified message from the four presenters, they were disappointed. In fact, there was a fair amount of disagreement among those on the dais.
