Agriculture Product Storage (VFDs)

Financial incentives are available for the installation of new variable frequency drives (VFDs) in potato and onion storage facilities.  The VFD Incentive program involves the addition of variable frequency drives to fan motors and related control systems.  The program also covers motor replacement as needed.

The benefits of VFDs include:

• Improved energy efficiency in storage facilities.
  
  
• Substantial kilowatt-hour (kWh) savings.
  
  
• Improved product quality.
  
  
• Reduced shrinkage of product.
