Why vertical farming?

By 2050 we will have a world population of 9bn*, and food production must increase by 70% to meet this demand**. Vertical farming could be one answer to this global issue.

Through our work with vertical farms we've found that a combination of our technology, green energy and custom tariffs can help significantly reduce energy costs for this high growth sector.

Can yield the most efficient savings when compared against adoption of technologies and changes to farming operations. Provides up to an 8% saving versus cheapest Economy 7 tariff.

Vertical Power AGILE

Agile allows you to access half hourly energy prices, tied to wholesale prices and updated daily.

Savings are dependent on site flexibility and crop type. We've seen that when paired with automation Agile can unlock savings of up to 15%.
