Projects

Queensland Business Energy Saving and Transformation (QBEST) Program

QBEST Ag, an initiative under the QBEST program, aids small-to-medium agricultural businesses in reducing electricity costs through practical energy efficiency advice. In 2024, the Queensland Farmers Federation conducted 35 onsite farm energy audits, with Saturn Engineering Group performing 9 audits across various farms, including cotton, citrus, and sugar farms, as well as a feedlot and piggery. Results and case studies are available on the Ag Energy Hub, showcasing methods to enhance productivity and returns.

Energy Savers Plus Extension Program

The Energy Savers Plus Extension Program was part of the Queensland Government’s $2 billion affordable energy plan that aimed to assist agricultural businesses identify and realise energy savings and productivity improvements. The objective of the Energy Savers program is to assist farmers reduce energy costs by supporting the accelerated adoption of improvements in on-farm energy use. The Energy Savers Plus Extension Program is delivered in by the Queensland Farmers Federation with support and funding from the Queensland Government. In 2019, Saturn Engineering Group was tasked to conduct 16 of the onsite farm energy audits. These audits ranged from pump and irrigation systems on cotton, lucerne and cattle farms

Large Customer Adjustment Program

The Large Customer Adjustment Program delivered additional energy audits to 11 regional large customers and co-contributions of up to $250,000 to encourage large electricity customers in rural and regional Queensland to implement the audit recommendations. The Program was funded by the Queensland Government and delivered by Ergon Energy. In 2019, Saturn Engineering Group was tasked to conducted 2 of the onsite farm energy audits. These audits include river extraction pumps on a cotton farm, and a pump and irrigation system for a table grape farm

Energy Savers Program

The Energy Savers Programs conducted over 300 farm energy audits across Queensland from 2015 to 2022. Initially a partnership between Ergon Energy, Queensland Farmers’ Federation, and its members, the program was funded by the Queensland Government. It helped farmers lower energy costs by adopting efficient irrigation and on-farm processing technologies. The program included multiple stages, such as the Irrigators Energy Savers Program (2013–2015) with 30 audits and the Energy Savers Plus Program (2015–2017) with up to 100 audits. In 2016, Saturn Engineering Group conducted five audits on cotton and onion/garlic farms. Case studies and resources are available on the Queensland Ag Energy Hub.
