Once an energy audit is completed there is the process of implementing the recommendations. Hear how Christine and Andrew Sebire completed and implemented their free on-farm energy audit which led to them replacing the diesel irrigation pumps with electric solar operated pumps. This project not only reduced their energy costs but cut greenhouse gas emissions, reduced labour and improved crop productivity. Peter Clinnick, Advanced Environmental Systems, discusses implementing energy audits and the considerations when selecting equipment and suppliers.
