To Our Agricultural Customers:
This section promotes energy-efficient solutions for small and large farms, ranches, and dairies. It includes technologies such as pumping systems for water and milk, vacuum systems for milking cows, refrigeration systems, and compressed air systems. In addition, there is information about Schedule TOU-PA-ICE, which offers a rate discount and a credit on electric line extension costs, for customers that replace internal-combustion motors with clean-running electric motors. These projects presented here reflect work performed by Southern California Edison within its service territory.
Variable frequency drives (VFDs) maintain a stable vacuum pressure needed for milking cows and provide a more efficient system, saving energy and money.
A new high-volume, low-speed (HVLS) fan is being tested for cooling cows in the hot summer months to avoid a decrease in milk production, while saving electricity and money over typical fans.
This guidebook provides a comprehensive study of energy use on a modern California dairy farm, including discussions of techniques to effectively manage energy costs. The guide provides a comparison measures and allows the dairy farmer to explore opportunities for conservation.
Under Rate Schedule TOU-PA-ICE, replace your internal-combustion motors with clean-running electric motors and get a rate discount and a credit on electric line extension costs.
Southern California Edison's free pump test offers you ways to save money and energy through increased energy efficiency, reduced costs and improved system reliability.
