Hat Chat

For the farmer who likes to make a new year’s resolution to save money on electricity use around the operation, there may be help finding out if savings are possible, and it won’t cost anything to check into it. Dairy farms, hog farms, sod farms, and hay and grain operations are among those that have found cost savings through an energy audit by Discovery Energy.

Kelly Curtis is their Director of Operations. He explained, “The state of Indiana will let us go back 36 months and we will audit the utility bills for the company. We look for a variety of different overcharges and mistakes the utility companies are making. When we find those mistakes we go back to the utility companies and sometimes the state of Indiana to get those fixed and implement the changes. Sometimes we are able to go back in time and obtain a refund for the client. Sometimes they won’t let us do that, depending on the regulation, and they are just errors that we can fix to lower the bill going forward.”
