GUEST BLOG: How Can Software Help Reduce Your Energy Bills Across The Farm? | Western Growers Center for Innovation & Technology
Summary
Electric pumps at the base of the Tehachapi Mountains that move water into southern California use about four billion kilowatt-hours of energy per year; that’s enough to power the entire city of Los Angeles for two months. In order to optimize your crop production and irrigation, it makes a lot of sense to closely track how much energy you’re using, when you’re using it, and how much it’s actually costing you. Wexus takes data directly from your utility, sifts through it, and pipes it into an online app that compares energy costs by ranch and by pump over time. With drought conditions we’ve had over the past few years, the steady hum of irrigation pumps isn’t about to go away from Monterey County. We’re excited to be part of the CIT and bring technology and practices to California’s growers that have saved other consumers in the energy industry hundreds of millions of dollars.
