Drought or Not, PG&E Assists Farmers With New Water Management Technology
In support of Gov.
Jerry Brown’s call for all customers to make water conservation a new way of life, even as he declared the official end to the current drought, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) is announcing new water management tools for agricultural customers.
These supplies will continue to be a challenge for the state.
That’s one reason why PG&E is working with Wexus Technologies to enable conservation of both water and energy, through an energy management software system that is now available to agriculture customers.
Wexus remotely connects pumps, buildings, PG&E electric SmartMeters and water flow meters via cloud technology.
"Water conservation and energy management go hand-in-hand.
We’re glad to be working with PG&E to make water and energy conservation a way of life.” PG&E will continue to work with the agricultural community to manage water and energy use through a variety of existing programs and incentives.
PG&E agricultural customers have saved more than 538 million kilowatt hours and 19 million therms of energy through the company’s energy efficiency programs and rebates since 2011.
That adds up to more than $81 million dollars in rebates in the last six years, since the recent drought first began.
