With agricultural energy expenditures climbing, farmers need to decrease expenses without sacrificing production. FOCUS ON ENERGY® can help with financial incentives to offset the installation of energy-efficiency equipment.

Today Pam Jahnke visits with Joel Roltgen, a Focus on Energy Advisor who's reminding producers about some great energy incentives they might want to consider now.

 

Today we’re going to talk about:
Irrigation and pump assessments
Ventilation (adding VFDs)

Pump Assessment Offering and VSD Bonus: 

Are you struggling with an oversized or inefficient pumping system? Focus on Energy offers a comprehensive assessment to identify performance issues and provide opportunities for improvement. Customers who schedule a pump assessment with a Focus on Energy registered Trade Ally can receive:
$500/pump assessed
Up to 100% off the assessment cost
Qualifying motors must be 75 HP or greater and operate a minimum of 500 hours per year

 

Install a variable speed drive (VSD) on your pump system following your assessment and you’ll be eligible for a BONUS:
50% bonus, up to $2,000
Total incentive, including the bonus, can’t exceed equipment costs
Projects must be completed within six months of the assessment (no later than December 31, 2022)

 

Schedule your pump assessment with a Focus on Energy Trade Ally and uncover the potential energy savings. Review the Pump Assessment Overview and Application at focusonenergy.com/agribusiness for more information and to get started.

 

 

Adding Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) on Ventilation Equipment

Variable frequency drives should be installed at the same time as fans to reduce overall labor costs, ensure the design of the ventilation system is optimized prior to installation, and guarantee the controls for the fans are compatible and integrated with other controls systems.

 

Customers can receive the following incentives:

 
Ventilation/Exhaust Fan, Dairy and Other (non-dairy) , ≥ 48” with Variable Speed - $250/fan
