The procurement of energy is becoming a critical category for many organisations – no longer just those who brand energy costs as DIRECT, such as those with high energy needs in a manufacturing process.
Even INDIRECT buyers with relatively lower needs are concerned with the rising cost of energy. Indeed, what, exactly, should your energy costs actually be?
Moreover, a wider range of stakeholders are growing increasingly concerned over energy choices. Not just from a regulatory point of view, but also from a consumers point of view – forcing organisations both public and private to address their own energy policy.
At the centre of these concerns are emissions, as well as costs, and on occasion assurance over supply. Political concerns, questions and balances add a further dimension for many.
This ENERGY DAY programme works from a corporate perspective and is targeted at B2B buyers of energy.
- Contributors include leading energy category purchasing consultants like Energy Action, our Platinum sponsor, as well as other industry experts such as The Renewable Energy Hub and Beam Solar.
- A highly relevant CASE STUDIES from SA WATER will illuminate corporate energy policy in practice – particularly the pursuit of achieving a ZERO Cost Energy future.

Networking opportunities
Networking with other delegates, speakers and sponsors has always been an essential feature of PASA events, and a core reason that many procurement professionals attend the event.
PASA have invested astutely to ensure our virtual conferencing solution offers the maximum opportunity for networking for delegates.
Significant parts of the programme are dedicated to free time for networking. The REMO platform used by PASA enables proactive networking in a way other online conferencing APPS do not.
In fact, this online approach through REMO makes networking for delegates even easier than at real life events.
