Enjoy Successful Annual
Conference in Iowa
Using the theme, “Next Steps
to Expand Your Electric
Efficiency Programs”, the RERC 2011 Annual Conference
provided valuable
information to participants.
Several speakers at the May
23 – 25 event offered
“application-oriented”
strategies being used by
other power suppliers to
manage energy and kW demand.
Along with the speaker
presentations, three “short
course” training sessions
were delivered during the
main session in Des Moines.
Just prior to the
Conference, a half-day
training course on “Helping
Ethanol Plants, Grain
Elevators and Feed Mills
Manage Electricity” was
attended by 31 power
suppliers (see related
article on page 3).

A significant portion of the
general session dealt with
an update of LED lighting
(Light Emitting Diode) for
both indoor and outdoor
applications. Valuable
information was shared from
ongoing demonstrations,
including pole-mounted
security lighting, and
agricultural installations
in three types of animal
barns.
