Question:"We are facing an energy crisis in California, with the potential for rolling blackouts and higher rates for electricity. Is there anything we can do on our golf course to be more energy efficient and prevent any problems caused by the blackouts?"
Source of Question:California
Answer/Response:"The best advice is to be proactive. Even if your golf course is not currently facing an energy crisis, there are several things you should do to become more energy efficient: Obtain a power audit by your local utility account representative to make sure you are getting the best possible rate structure. Investigate upgrading irrigation pumping equipment. Back up computer programs to avoid losing data due to power surges or blackouts. Consider installing surge protectors and phase monitors on irrigation pumping equipment. Implement conservation measures in the maintenance facility and clubhouse, including energy-efficient lighting and timers on lights in such areas as restrooms and lunch rooms."
