DESCRIPTION:NOCO Energy Forum\n\nIn partnership with the Clarence Chamber of Commerce and the Ken-Ton Chamber of Commerce\, the Amherst Chamber of Commerce is please to offer this Energy Forum hosted by NOCO.\n\n\n\nBusiness guests welcome\n\n\n\nThis year's headlines make one thing clear: energy costs are rising and fast.

Yet many lack visibility into the tools and strategies available to manage these expenses effectively.\n\n\n\nDuring this session\, participants will gain insight into the future of energy\, including emerging technologies and clean energy solutions\, learn more about the state's climate plans and impact of recent federal legislation\, and how businesses can utilize resources available to them through incentives and rebates. NOCO President & COO\, Michael Casciano\, will share how you can take the mindset that you control your business' energy usage\, then you can take the steps needed when it comes to where to use it\, where you can save it\, and how you can give yourself energy certainty.\n\n\n\nWith a commitment to sustainability and responsible energy use\, Tops Markets developed a partnership with NOCO as step on their environmental reduction path.  Tim Bowen\, Tops Markets Construction/Maintenance & Engineering Maintenance\, Property & Waste Manager will also share how they completed energy efficiency steps\, including the effect on operational goals and enhancements to the in-store experience. \n\n\n\nAbout NOCO\n\nWith more than 90 years of experience in delivering energy\, locally owned and operated NOCO has seen firsthand the diversification of energy offerings available\, including a company pivot to offering innovative options for customers seeking alternatives to traditional energy solutions.\n\n\n\nAbout Tops\n\nTops Markets operates a robust network of 152 grocery stores spanning New York\, Pennsylvania\, and Vermont.
