On our latest episode of Grow Sessions we welcome Sam Milton of Enlighten Your Grow in an insightful conversation about energy efficiency programs and how growers can save by growing efficiently. Join us in our new episode entitled, "Earning Free Money - How to Take Advantage of Energy Efficiency Programs for Your Cannabis Facility."

Utilities are exploring new ways to help cannabis growers better manage their energy use as legalization leads to rapid expansion of cannabis facilities across the country. They realize that grid resources may not be able to sustain energy demands if left unmanaged. For this reason, commercial growers are eligible to receive hundreds of thousands of dollars in rebates and incentives from energy efficiency providers for installing energy-efficient technology, such as LED lighting.

Topics in this episode include: industry trends, making good decisions and growing sustainably, how to save energy without leaving money on the table, state energy programs – where to start and how they work, how much growers can save and how, and much more.

If you are a cannabis grower, owner of a facility or thinking of opening your own cannabis business, you don’t want to miss this episode.
