Ace Begonias
Ace Begonias in 2013 replaced inefficient HID lights with 72 EE LED agriculture lights called LumiGrow Pro 325. The estimated savings from the upgrade will result in 39,640 kWh saved annually. While the owner was interested in this upgrade to save energy he was equally interested in the production value these lights offered. Ace Begonias will be able to produce a better plant quicker because of these new lights. In addition to the USDA REAP Grant the farm received an incentive from the Energize CT Small Business Energy Advantage (SBEA) program.
