Smart energy solutions for Australia’s dairy industry
Making energy a competitive advantage for Australian dairy farmers
Hot water, milk cooling and harvesting accounts for a combined 80% of on-farm energy use for dairy farmers, so reducing consumption and maximising energy efficiency has never been more vital. And with rising energy costs and climate concerns front of mind, more businesses are seeking a sustainable alternative.
Using energy smarter with Flow Power can help cut costs, increase energy efficiency, and power your business towards a greener future. We’re moving beyond standard peak and off-peak contracts to give the dairy industry more from their power plans, with access to the wholesale energy market.
How Flow Power helps dairy farms get more from their energy
Shape how and when your site uses electricity to avoid high prices and shift energy intensive operations to periods when electricity when prices are low.
Small changes could mean significant power bill savings for your business.
Just like shopping at your local farmers market, there are benefits to choosing energy from the wholesale market. Take control of your power costs and see how much you could save with wholesale prices.
Leverage our smart technology to reshape your electricity behaviour. View your energy insights and control your electricity consumption in real time, with our kWatch hardware installed on your site.
