Energy and cost savings

Meridian Energy is dedicated to generating electricity using renewable natural and physical resources – the lakes, rivers, and wind. This means that we put less harmful gases into the air.

Whatever type of farm you have, you have the potential to save money in running costs through careful energy management. By implementing some simple energy saving measures, you could potentially reduce your energy usage by 10-15%.

If you're a dairy farmer, have a look at our dairy farms page for some specific details.

We work closely with the government agency responsible for energy efficiency, the Energy Efficiency Conservation Authority (EECA). With EECA's assistance, we've put together these simple and cost effective ways for you to save energy and money.
