“Farming is an extremely challenging area to work in, there’s a lot of red tape and costs are very high. However, I think for Andrew Hendriks and his family, this is an opportunity for them to have a program at their disposal, a tool that they can use first to have access to water and to use water in such an efficient way. This is such a win-win situation.”
To be eligible for a rebate under the program, high-efficiency pump kits must be between 0.5 horsepower and 10 horsepower and must comprise a pump, motor, variable frequency drive and accessories.
The rebate is only available to agriculture customers in Hydro One and NPEI service territories.
Cindy-Lynn Steele, vice president market solutions for Hydro One, said the program helps agricultural customers manage their electricity and water usage all while saving money, and could result in up to $610 in savings per constant pressure pump kit.
