1. Why it Matters for Best Outcomes

Modern farming runs on power — for pumping water, running cold storage, operating processing units, or even charging digital devices. A reliable electricity supply reduces costs and ensures smooth operations. But with frequent outages and rising costs, alternate power (diesel generators, solar pumps, wind turbines, biogas plants) is becoming a critical part of farm resilience. A farm’s energy infrastructure decides how stable and sustainable its operations are.

2. When Power Supply is Favorable

Farms with regular electricity and affordable tariffs enjoy consistent irrigation, lower pumping costs, and reliable post-harvest operations. Those with alternate power setups (solar panels, windmills, biogas digesters) cut recurring expenses, reduce dependency on erratic supply, and even become energy self-reliant. In such cases, farming is smoother, less risky, and environmentally friendlier.

3. When Power Supply is Unfavorable

Unreliable or costly electricity leads to frequent irrigation failures, stalled machinery, and wastage of time. Dependence only on diesel generators raises costs and pollutes. Farms without alternate options are highly vulnerable to outages, losing crops during critical irrigation windows. Over time, poor energy infrastructure creates inefficiencies and reduces competitiveness.
