Frequently Asked Questions

I’m a farmer and would like to have a free assessment.

Get in quick! There are only 20-free energy assessments on offer. 

It’s an amazing opportunity to understand your energy usage on farm. The farms selected will become leaders in their community, taking short-term actions to reduce energy usage and updating their plans for longer-term opportunities.

I’m a farmer. What does applying for an assessment mean for me?

Firstly, applying does not guarantee you get one of the 20-assessments – there are limited spaces and we encourage you to apply quickly. 

If you are successful in being selected for the free assessment, you will need to invest a small amount of time providing some farm and energy information to the advisor. When the recommendations are ready, you will review them with the advisor. We want to work with farmers that are serious about energy savings and hope the actions will be captured in your long-term farm plan to be invested in over time. There will be some quick return savings and some which will take longer to realise. Our team will work with you to help make your energy saving steps as easy as possible.

I’m happy to tell people about this project.

We’d love for you to share this project with your farming contacts and encourage them to sign up to this free assessment and resulting opportunities. 

I want to be a co-creator of the resources for farmers.

If you’re part of an organisation that’s living and breathing supporting farmers, why not join us in co-creating the resources that farmers and their advisors can use to save energy, money, carbon and so much more… 

You may have a way to help farmers overcome barriers to reducing their energy usage – can you offer up a solution or financial incentive? Give us a call.
