Your co-op, now looking after your energy bill

Ruralco has been lowering farm input costs for members since 1963. Now energy is part of that. Termina checks your rates every month and moves you to a better plan when one comes up, so your farm is never stuck on yesterday's price.

Ruralco member benefits

Your energy, reviewed every month

Farms run on energy: irrigation, milking, pumps, cool stores and the house. Termina keeps an eye on all of it, all year, not just once.

A monthly review, done for you

Termina checks your rates every month, not just once. When a lower rate becomes available, you move to it. Someone is always watching the market for you, so you do not have to.

Built around how your farm uses energy

Irrigation season, milking times, winter peaks. Termina looks at how your farm actually uses energy across the year, not just one bill, so your plan fits the way you run.

Every connection, one team

The house, the shed, the pumps, the run-off. Send them all through and one team reviews your whole energy spend together, electricity and gas.

Backed by your co-op

Ruralco has partnered with Termina so members get an energy team that knows the market inside out, with the same local co-op you already deal with behind it.

How it works

Good to know

Questions you might have

Do I need to pay anything?

It is free to check what your farm could save, with no obligation to go ahead. If you do, Termina explains any costs up front, before you sign anything.

Do we have to switch energy companies?

Only if a better deal is there for you, and even then Termina handles the switch. There is no disruption to your connection, so the pumps keep running, and you will not be chasing retailers or filling out paperwork.

Are we locked into a contract?

Some rates are contracted and some are not. Termina gives you the quotes and options, and makes sure you understand any terms before anything moves ahead, so the choice is always yours.

What if the farm has more than one connection?

Most do. Upload a bill for each connection you can (the house, the shed, the irrigation, any run-off blocks) and Termina looks at them together.
