Partnership
Power in
Say goodbye to unpredictable energy costs and hello to reliable, sustainable power with no setup, installation or maintenance costs.
We partner with farmers to build power resilience by harvesting energy from the sun. This makes for sustainable business, lower overheads, and protection from increasing market rates.
Minimising reliance on power from the grid with no financial outlay
We install solar on farmers’ roofs for no cost, saving them money from day one.
We take care of the full set up process, use the best quality products, and provide a unique solution that is tailored to your farms specific needs. And because we maintain ownership of the hardware, there are no upfront cost to the farmer, delivering savings from day one.
This provides a complete solution that works for everyone - not only farm owners, but share milkers and contract milkers too.
Protecting farmers from unexpected power rate increases
Savings
We sell the energy generated by the solar panels back to you at up to 30% lower than market rate – saving farms an average of $150k over the partnership period.
Certainty
We protect you from unforeseen rate increases by fixing your rate for 5 years, then limiting your annual increases from there.
Maximising generation capacity and efficiency through innovation
Rural Energy helps power nearly 200 farms across the Waikato region.
These partnerships support our journey to keep over $500m in the pockets of rural communities over the next two decades. To support us on this road, simply spread the word in your community. To get a Rural Energy sign for your fence, contact us here.
