Installing voltage management technology is reportedly saving the UK Environment Agency more than £30,000/y in energy spend, according to newly released data. Following trials of electricity supply management solutions, the government agency has begun to roll out powerPerfector’s Voltage Power Optimisation (VPO)® across its portfolio of 35 sites. VPO technology is claimed to offer energy, cost and carbon savings by efficiently optimising a site’s supply voltage. By optimising the voltage, electrical equipment runs more efficiently and consumes less energy. The savings made at the Environment Agency are based on just the first six installations. Once the rollout is completed it is anticipated that the Agency will reduce its annual energy spend by around £75,000 and cut its carbon footprint by over 500,000 kg of carbon dioxide.
