 Partnering for Energy Efficiency: Information on PG&E’s online web services, free energy audits, incentive programs, equipment rebates, Savings By Design, technical support services and other resources for winery and vineyard customers.

 Winery Tour: Walk through Bargetto Winery to look at areas of opportunity and measures already implemented for water conservation and energy efficiency.

 The Benefits of VFDs: Variable Frequency Drives are a very good solution for reducing energy use and wear and tear on motors and pumps. Find out why & how VFDs save energy and money, and learn about examples of effective (as well as less effective) VFD applications.

 Time Varying Pricing - TOU & PDP: Changes in the way electricity is priced will be taking effect this year for many wineries. Learn how to manage electricity use to minimize high demand charges and save money.

 Renewable Energy: After efficiency gains have been made in the operation, investments in renewable energy are a great next step. Learn about how you can get started with solar in your operation.

 Water and Energy Efficiency Opportunities: Facilitated discussion and wrap-up about actions wineries can take to conserve water and become more energy efficient.
