Frequently asked energy questions for agriculture businesses

Where is energy used most in agricultural operations?‍

Agricultural businesses use energy for irrigation, pumping, refrigeration, cooling, heating, lighting, machinery and processing equipment. Energy usage varies based on season, crop cycles and livestock needs.

Why do farm and agricultural energy bills fluctuate so much?‍

Bills increase during high irrigation periods, extreme temperatures, harvest seasons or when refrigeration and processing equipment run for long hours. Seasonal production cycles contribute to significant changes in consumption.

How can small farms and agricultural businesses reduce their energy costs?‍

Small operators can reduce costs by comparing plans regularly, reviewing tariffs, upgrading pumps and irrigation systems, maintaining equipment, managing cooling settings and avoiding contract rollover onto higher rates.

What drives high energy usage in large agricultural and processing operations?‍

Large farms and processing facilities use significant energy for cold storage, refrigeration, irrigation, HVAC systems, heavy machinery and continuous processing. Running multiple high-load systems at once increases demand charges.

How can agricultural businesses improve energy efficiency across different sites or sheds?‍

They can align contract end dates, benchmark usage across sheds or properties, install sub-metering, upgrade equipment, review tariffs and use energy insights to identify peak demand periods. This helps reduce overall energy costs and improve efficiency.
