Saving electrcity in your commercial or industrial site

This Blog post is written by Jonathan Anstey of Carbon Management Services and explains about an emerging technology for business to save money on electric and reduce their carbon footprint.

Businesses could be wasting up to 20 per cent of the energy you pay for?


Around 90 per cent of electricity consumers pay for more than they need. Power supplied by the distribution network isn’t at the optimum voltage, so your equipment is being over-supplied with subtle but significant consequences.
 This can be expensive, however it can be corrected by fitting a Voltage Optimisation System. 

How does it work?

Most electrical equipment in Europe is designed and manufactured to run at 220V but most buildings are supplied voltage much higher than this. Around 90% of UK buildings use more electricity than they actually need - simply because their power is not optimised.

If your power is not optimised, you are paying up to 20% more electricity than you need and at the same time, emitting up to 15% more CO2.

In one stroke, the “Enviro-Volt ™ Voltage Optimisation System" can, cut energy consumption, reduce your costs and emissions, and protect your equipment – going green has never been more profitable. 

Why should you optimise your supply?

Electrical equipment (such as motors, HVAC and lighting) performs inefficiently when exposed to excessive voltage and poor power quality. Take a normal 230V rated lamp – when run at 240V, it will fail after 550 hours instead of 1000, drawing nine per cent more energy. Now imagine that problem spread across an entire site, with every single component failing faster and wasting energy.
That’s expensive and can be corrected by fitting an “Enviro-Volt” Voltage Optimisation System.

If you'd like to find out more about Voltage optimisation, We invite you to have a survey carried out at your site/ sites; which is complimentary and will allow us to put together a proposal detailing how much money and CO₂ the site stands to save.
