Energy accounts for more than half of a farm’s operating expenses, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. By saving energy, your farm can allocate more funds toward crucial resources.

We can help. We’ll find you an expert contractor to assess your property for energy-saving opportunities. Then, we’ll provide a customized report with upgrade options and qualifying rebates toward energy-efficient pumps, VFD, lighting, irrigation and more.

If your business has an energy project not listed on our website, let us know. We’ll come visit your facility to determine eligibility.

We offer custom project rebates of $.06/kWh saved annually toward new construction, retrofits, building upgrades and more. Once we identify energy-saving opportunities at your facility, we’ll provide a contractor database, and rebates toward qualifying energy efficiency projects.

Pre-approval is required for all custom projects.

With single-speed motors using more power than necessary, you can save electricity by switching to variable frequency/speed drives (VFD), to match motors speed with actual load requirements. Let us help. We’ll provide a contractor database, expert assessment and cash rebates toward VFD purchases and installation.

To be eligible for a rebate, these energy-saving devices must be newly installed on (retrofitting of existing VFDs are not eligible):

• HVAC
• Cooling tower fans
• Chilled water pumps
• Condenser water pumps
• Hot water pumps
• Air compressors
• and other motor upgrades

Benefits

• Apply for rebates of $.05/kWh saved annually, offsetting upgrade costs and reducing payback time.
• Lower operating costs. New VFDs delivery can help deliver energy savings, paying for themselves quickly.
• Reduce maintenance costs. Energy-efficient motors can run cooler, last longer and reduce facility heating loads.
• Reduce motor lifecycle costs.
• Reduce energy losses through improved design, tighter tolerances, better materials and improved manufacturing techniques.

Switching to energy-efficient food service equipment can reduce your facility’s energy consumption by up to two-thirds, according to ENERGY STAR®. We can help your business maximize those savings.

We will help you find a contractor to assess your facility for eligible rebates toward the installation of energy-efficient food service equipment.

Rebates are available for:

• ENERGY STAR certified steam cookers and servers
• Dishwasher pre-rinse sprayers
• Variable frequency drive (VFD) on fan (kitchen exhaust fan)
• Vending machine controllers
• High efficiency refrigerator/freezer cases
• Night covers for display cases
• Optimization of your walk-in refrigerator by:
  • Adding strip curtains, door gaskets and automatic door closers
  • Installing anti-sweat heater controls
  • Replacing incandescent light bulbs with ENERGY STAR certified LEDs that generate considerably less heat
  • Suction pipe insulation
  • Equipping evaporator and condenser fans with electronically commutated motors that can reduce energy consumption by about two-thirds

Benefits

• Apply for rebates of $.05/kWh saved annually, offsetting upgrade costs and reducing payback time
• Lower operating costs
• Reduce maintenance costs with longer-lasting equipment
• Improve work environment and productivity by increasing comfort and safety

Upgrading your heating, ventilation and air condition (HVAC) systems can make a huge dent in your energy bills. We’ll help you make the switch with our contractor database, identify energy-saving opportunities of your facility and rebates toward energy-efficient chillers, heat pumps and A/C units.

Benefits

• Apply for rebates of $.05/kWh saved annually, offsetting upgrade costs and reducing payback time
• Lower operating costs
• Reduce maintenance costs with longer-lasting equipment
• Improve work environment and productivity by increasing comfort and safety

Want to cut down on energy costs? Switch to energy-efficient lighting. LED lighting can save you up to 50 percent on energy costs, while fluorescent lighting can lower energy use by 25 percent or more.

Advances in lighting technologies mean upgrading to high-efficiency lighting goes beyond changing lamps and bulbs. Whether it’s reconfiguring your lamp layout or installing occupancy sensors so lights only turn on when needed, we’ll help you find the best solution for your business.
