Dear Sir, I am pleased to inform you that Power Line is organising its fifth annual conference on “Managing Cost of Energy: New Challenges, Strategies and Solutions for Industrial Consumers” on July 16-17, 2008 at Hyatt Regency, New Delhi. Securing the supply of energy and managing its cost is becoming one of the most important business challenges facing Indian industry. The price of oil continues to defy gravity. The cost of domestic coal has not risen that much, but neither has its availability. The price of imported coal, meanwhile, continues to increase. As for gas, the demand still far exceeds supply, despite LNG and even after taking KG basin gas into account. Thankfully, the price of power from the grid, for HT consumers at least, has either remained flat or risen marginally in most states. Though availability is another story, with shortages increasing by the day. So what is an industrial consumer to do? The mission of this conference is to help explore the answers, to share strategies and to exchange solutions. It will discuss questions like:
The two-day conference will have sessions covering the following topics: Market Outlook on Oil, Gas and Coal; Grid Power Availability & Tariff Trends; Power Trading and Energy Exchanges; Current Captive Economics; Focus on Group Captive; Cogeneration & Trigeneration; Energy Efficiency Solutions & Strategies; Cost Reduction Experience; Green Buildings: Potential & Experience; Industrial Consumers & Renewables; and Update on Carbon Credits. The conference will be particularly useful for finance, operations, planning and energy managers in the cement, steel, sugar, textiles, fertilisers, paper, aluminum, chemicals/petrochemicals and other power-intensive industries. It will also be beneficial to institutional users like hospitals, hotels and business parks. The delegate fee is Rs 22,500 for one participant, Rs 35,000 for two, Rs 47,500 for three and Rs 60,000 for four. There is also a 20 per cent "early bird discount" for those registering before June 27, 2008. There is a special low fee of Rs 10,000 for the state electricity boards and their successor entities, regulatory agencies and academic institutions. We hope you will consider attending or nominating officers from your organisation for this important event. I have taken the liberty of sending you a brochure of the conference complete with the registration form. Thank you very much, |
