Irrigation
Summary
Climate change is causing unpredictable weather and natural disasters like bushfires, floods, and droughts, significantly impacting growing seasons and reducing crop yields for farmers and producers.
Farmers are addressing climate change by mitigating greenhouse gas emissions from outdated practices and adopting renewable energy solutions.
Energy for Irrigation
Agricultural irrigation in Australia faces growing challenges as rising operational costs and volatile energy markets strain farming operations.
Vast amounts of energy are required to irrigate farms, water livestock, and produce silage, making energy reliability and affordability crucial for farm sustainability.
As farms expand, their power demands increase, further adding pressure on the need for consistent and affordable energy solutions.
In response, farmers are turning to innovative energy technologies and renewable solutions to manage costs, improve efficiency, and secure the future of their operations in an increasingly competitive and unpredictable market.
The Opportunity
Agricultural irrigation farms have a unique opportunity to enhance energy reliability, reduce costs, and boost sustainability through renewable energy solutions.
The high energy demands of irrigation, coupled with rising prices and unreliable grid connections, have strained operations and impacted profitability.
By adopting Renewable Energy as a Service from REDEI, farmers can mitigate these issues, reduce farm costs, and improve operational efficiency, providing more flexibility and increasing profits.
Renewable energy offers a strategic investment for the future, helping farms thrive in an increasingly competitive market and securing long-term growth and stability.
Cost Protection
Rising input costs, inflation, and interest rates are squeezing farm margins. REaaS helps farmers hedge against these financial pressures by stabilising energy costs, offering predictable, lower expenses, and protecting farms from future price hikes.
Energy Expansion
Irrigation 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.
