AgriPump Rebate Program is the first of its kind in Ontario. The program is ideal for all farming applications, including livestock.

Hydro One and Niagara Peninsula Energy Inc. recently announced the AgriPump Rebate Program, the first program of its kind in Ontario to offer instant rebates to customers who purchase a high-efficiency pump kit.
