For Cannabis operators, Energy tends to be the second largest expense next to labour.  However, most operators do not understand how Energy costs are derived, what opportunities there are for cost management and reduction and who should truly be managing Energy within their organization.  Operators are currently inundated with self generation opportunities and financial options which need to be compared to available power options from local utilities.
