Beyond Individual Projects: Building an Integrated Energy Strategy Across a Complex Facility Portfolio

Watch this practical discussion with Trio and UNFI exploring how a coordinated energy strategy can help organizations maximize investments, improve project outcomes, and accelerate progress toward operational and sustainability goals. 

Organizations today are balancing rising energy costs, decarbonization goals, aging infrastructure, electrification, and evolving business priorities. At the same time, initiatives such as energy efficiency, onsite generation, battery storage, EV infrastructure, utility incentives, and energy procurement are often planned and executed independently, creating additional complexity, costs, and missed opportunities. 

Drawing on UNFI’s experience managing a diverse portfolio of facilities, the discussion explores real-world challenges, lessons learned, and practical approaches for connecting multiple energy initiatives into a more cohesive, long-term strategy.
