Electricity demand across the United States is rising rapidly, driven by industrial growth, data centers, electrification and population expansion. At the same time, aging generation assets, power plant retirements and transmission constraints are creating new pressures on regional electricity grids.

For energy-intensive industries such as meat and poultry processing, these changes can translate into rising electricity costs, increased price volatility and growing operational risk during periods of peak demand.

In this Meat Institute webinar, sponsored by Environ Energy, experts will explore how evolving grid dynamics are affecting energy costs and reliability across key regions that power the protein industry including the Midwest and Central United States.

The session will examine how energy risks can impact processing operations and highlight practical strategies companies are using to better understand energy usage, manage cost exposure and strengthen operational resilience.

Participants will gain insights into how energy planning is becoming an increasingly important component of operational strategy for meat and poultry processors.
