The purpose of this website is to assist Canadian farmers and food processors with a path, information, tools and resources to assess the renewable energy opportunity in their business. A recent survey conducted by FarmEnergyOnline.com identified that farmer knowledge of renewable energy is distributed evenly from vague awareness to established business plan. As a result we’re striving to offer value from start to finish.

These web pages provide an information platform in the area of renewable energy business planning and management for farmers, farm business advisors, processors, and financial lenders to promote a common understanding of the business opportunities and risks.

A renewable energy business applies to some, conversation and efficiency applies to all. Energy Conservation and efficiency is job one when considering renewable and alternative energy system on farm and for food processing. As energy producers, wasting energy and inefficient energy usage means missing opportunities to reduce costs but also to sell more.
