Powering the future of farming with clean, sustainable energy.

Commercial farms have high energy needs. Irrigation equipment, packing plants and other processing facilities, electric fences, lighting, cooling, heating, and ventilation equipment – all of these must be powered, in most cases by electricity.

As the global population increases, so will the demand for food – meaning we are likely to see more and bigger commercial farms going forward. As a result, the overall energy requirements of the agricultural industry will continue to rise, increasing running costs, placing more strain on utility power grids that are often already struggling to keep up with demand, and negatively affecting the environment by requiring the use of more fossil fuels – unless industry players actively seek out alternatives.

Moving away from fossil-fuel based power can cut costs and reduce risks

Rising costs and a limited supply of oil, coal, natural gas, and other fossil fuels (a situation that is likely to worsen into the future), unavailable or unreliable utility grid power, and the risk of operational disruptions due to load shedding, breakdowns and other planned or unplanned power outages are all factors that make it worthwhile for you to consider using renewable energy to fully- or partially power your farm, packing/processing operation, or other agri-business.

If implemented and used correctly, renewable energy increases profitability and improves operational efficiency.

Invest in the future

There is also growing awareness within the agricultural industry of the need for farms and agri-businesses to improve their environmental profile by operating in a way that lowers their carbon footprint, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and ensures that they have minimal to no impact on global warming and climate change.

Many businesses that purchase agricultural products now factor sustainability into their buying decisions, and there is increasing pressure from governments and other organisations to encourage businesses in the agricultural industry to act in the most environmentally friendly manner possible.

Switching over to renewable energy is an investment in our environment and future as well as in your business.
