Home > Energy Efficiency Tips & Tools

At Hydro One, we understand that for Ontario's agricultural businesses to remain financially viable and competitive, electricity use and energy costs must be well managed. To help you manage your electricity use, Hydro One has partnered with The Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food & Rural Affairs — with support from Enbridge Gas Distribution and AG Energy Cooperative — to produce the "Energy Wise" series of videos for farmers.

In the five features below, you'll learn how today's farmers are using renewable energy and other techniques to manage their electricity use on dairy, swine, poultry and greenhouse operations. For even more energy-saving solutions, watch our six short tips below on such topics as generating power using renewable or non-renewable fuels, heating, lighting and ventilation.
