Ontario’s Green Act has streamlined energy projects, and introduced the FIT program to the swine industry. Solar energy and biogas are two sources of energy the government is willing to purchase off of producers. The solar panels can be a micro-fit system, which can be placed on the roof or the ground. The ground panels will likely be better for rural areas where more space is available, and roof systems used in higher density areas. The roof’s integrity will have to be assessed before installing roof paneling. So far biogas projects are mainly run off of manure, as using high energy crops would not be profitable enough. Further use of biogas may take some re-evaluation of manure systems. Other green energy sources are wind, water, and biomass systems and new or renovated barns should consider their options before construction.
