While we are all thankful for what the rain is bringing for our water needs, the storm and winds that have come with it can pack a punch on power lines and your power needs. 

With agricultural operations becoming increasingly reliant on technology and electricity, a reliable power source becomes paramount. In this blog, we will explore the need for supplemental and mobile power solutions to support wineries throughout the season. Wineries engage in various vital operations, such as crushing, pressing, fermentation, and temperature control, all of which require electricity to function efficiently. Any disruptions in the power supply during these processes can lead to spoilage, oxidation, and overall loss of yield and profit.

The Growing Dependence on Power in Winemaking

Advancements in winemaking technology have revolutionized the industry, making it more efficient and producing higher-quality wines. From mechanical harvesters to temperature-controlled fermentation tanks, wineries have embraced technology to streamline operations and improve product consistency.

However, this reliance on technology has also increased the demand for stable and mobile power solutions. Traditional power sources can often be unreliable, especially in remote rural areas where vineyards are commonly located. Here’s where supplemental and mobile power solutions, such as generators, come into play. 

Supplemental and Mobile Power Solutions

Uninterrupted Operations: Supplemental and mobile power solutions provide a reliable source of electricity, ensuring that wineries can continue their operations without interruptions during critical moments.

Flexibility and Mobility: Mobile power generator solutions enable wineries to set up temporary power stations exactly where they are needed most. They can be easily moved from one location to another, making them ideal for the dynamic demands of your winery.

Cost-Effectiveness: Investing in a permanent power infrastructure for seasonal demands can be costly and impractical. Rental options for generators provide a cost-effective alternative, allowing wineries to pay only for the power they need during harvest season.

Environmental Considerations: Many wineries today prioritize sustainability and environmental responsibility. Supplemental power solutions can include eco-friendly options like biodiesel generators or hybrid battery/diesel equipment, aligning with wineries’ green initiatives.

Assessment for Rental of Mobile Generators

To ensure the best fit for your backup power requirements and site conditions, we conduct a comprehensive evaluation before you rent a towable diesel or hybrid generator. Our assessment process includes the following steps:

1. In-depth site survey, covering various crucial factors like the transfer switch location, suitable parking spot for the generator, and the required cable lengths.
2. Determination of the most appropriate generator size based on your specific needs.
3. Selection from our diverse fleet of generators, including diesel options ranging from 10 kW to 1 MW, or one of our eco-friendly hybrid-solar generators.
4. Development of a comprehensive plan, encompassing essential ancillary equipment and a well-thought-out hook-up strategy.

Next Steps:

1. Utilize our Generator Sizing Calculator to estimate the optimal generator size.
2. Access our rental services brochure for more information.
3. Get in touch with us to schedule a generator rental assessment.

Enhancing Agriculture Beyond Wineries

The need for supplemental and mobile power solutions extends beyond wineries, benefitting the broader agricultural sector before and during the harvest season.  Adopting temporary power solutions can improve efficiency, mitigate losses, and promote a smooth growing and harvesting process.
