We’ve also got our Certified Renewable Energy product, which allows you to report your Scope 2 electricity emissions – those ones linked to your electricity usage – as zero*. *Using the market-based reporting methodology as per the GHG Protocol’s Scope 2 Standards. -
Seasonal rates
If your power use is high for activities like spring calving operations, seasonal rates could be a great solution for you. You'll get a lower rate when your power consumption is at its highest.
Dairy pricing and plans
Running a dairy farm isn't simple, and we know your costs and power usage can fluctuate. Power can be expensive at peak milking times. We’ve got a range of options to help you work with the seasons to get the most out of your power. We can work with you to find the dairy farm plan that suits your business, locations and power needs.

Seasonal rates
Seasonal Fixed Energy Plans are the best fit for most spring calving operations. With seasonal rates, during the months when your consumption is at its peak, your rates are at their lowest. We reckon that’s a no-brainer. -
Day/Night pricing
In combination with a Seasonal Plan, Day/Night pricing can be a great way to keep your costs down. You’ll have lower rates at night when you’re not using as much power – a great choice for early morning milkers. Whether you milk once a day, twice a day or beyond, our agribusiness specialists can work out what’s right for your dairy sheds and pumps.
