A program that helps Wisconsin farmers save energy and money has some new incentives for farmers.
Kevin Weiler with Wisconsin’s Focus on Energy program says rebates and other incentives help farms and businesses upgrade to more efficient systems, and one example is replacing older electric motors using variable frequency drives on a standard 240-volt service. “You’ll be running with a three-phase motor and the lower RPMs will also save you money on your electric bill every month.”
Weiler says upgrading the farm’s lighting is another way to save on electrical bills and get some incentive money to offset some costs.
