Beef Cattle Farms
Summary
The rising demand for organic, hormone-free, locally produced beef presents a significant opportunity for Australian primary beef producers, as consumers seek high-quality, chemical-free products with a direct 'farm to plate' supply chain.
The Australian Beef Sustainability Framework tracks industry performance, aiming for continuous improvement and environmental sustainability, while primary beef producers strive to enhance farm operations for higher quality and more efficient production.
Farm Energy
Beef farming in Australia is a complex business, with primary producers facing challenges such as a harsh climate, limited water supply, and growing consumer demand for environmentally friendly products.
To meet these demands, producers are constantly seeking innovative ways to improve farm efficiency and profitability.
REDEI’s solar microgrids are increasingly being incorporated to reduce operational costs, support farm expansion, and address energy needs.
These advancements not only boost farm resilience and growth but also provide flexibility to adapt to changing conditions.
The Opportunity
Beef cattle farmers have a unique opportunity to enhance energy reliability, reduce costs, and boost sustainability through renewable energy solutions.
Rising energy prices and unreliable grid connections have strained the ability for irrigation impacting profitability. By installing a solar microgrid from REDEI, farmers can directly address these issues, significantly reducing farm costs and improving operational efficiency.
A solar microgrid provides a secure, on-site power source that is not dependent on the public grid, offering more flexibility and increasing profits. Solar microgrids are a strategic investment for the future, helping farms thrive in an increasingly competitive and eco-conscious market.
Cost Protection
REDEI’s Energy as a Service (REaaS) service provides predictable, lower expenses, and protects farms from future energy price hikes, which is especially beneficial for high-energy operations like irrigation.
Energy Expansion
Farms face fluctuating energy needs. REaaS provides scalable, flexible solutions for each farm’s energy profile, ensuring efficient and cost-effective energy delivery that meets current and future farm capacity needs.
Farm Profitability
Beef farmers face rising costs for feed, fertilisers, fuel, and labor. REaaS helps reduce energy expenses by generating renewable energy, offering stable and lower long-term energy costs, protecting farms from future price surges.
Energy Security
Farms face fluctuating energy prices and supply disruptions due to global market instability. REaaS ensures reliable energy by combining on-site renewable generation (solar, bio-methane) with grid energy, reducing dependence on unpredictable energy markets.
Energy Resilience
Beef cattle farms often struggle with energy demand due to outdated and unreliable grid infrastructure. REaaS enables farms to generate energy on-site, expanding irrigation for cattle and silage production, without costly or time-consuming grid upgrades.
