Queensland Business Energy Saving and Transformation—Agriculture (QBEST Ag)

QBEST Ag is an initiative under the QBEST program aimed at helping small-to-medium-sized agricultural businesses reduce their electricity costs through sharing information and practical advice on efficient energy use.

As part of this initiative, the Queensland Farmers Federation is delivering several onsite farm energy audits across key agricultural sectors to identify opportunities to improve energy efficiency within the Queensland agricultural industry.

QBEST Ag builds on previous energy audits supported by the Queensland Government. Results are being published on the new Ag Energy Hub, which contains resources and case studies that demonstrate how agricultural businesses can boost their productivity and returns.

Visit the Queensland Ag Energy Hub to see how your business may benefit from the learnings of others.
