If any company uses a large amount of electricity and wants to reduce costs and support the environment, I would recommend a Voltage Optimiser with Powerdown220.

Augean Enhances Power Quality and Cuts Energy Costs with Voltage Reduction
Get a savings estimate
Problem
Augean, a leading waste management company, had identified a need to improve their site’s overall power quality, as well as reducing energy costs. Usually, a site may see voltages fluctuating between 236v – 244v, but Augean were experiencing swings between 220v – 253v, which is the maximum amount allowed in the UK. This meant that a change in the supply affected them greatly, mainly in the form of surges which damaged the electrical equipment and shortened its lifespan.
Solution
By installing a voltage optimiser, Augean took control of their electrical supply for energy efficiency gains. As well as reducing their incoming power by eight per cent, which restricted their maximum voltage to 232v, they also set the auto inhibit at 220v to prevent a drop in supply. From reducing the impact of power surges, Augean were able to increase the lifespan of their equipment by 46 per cent, while making an energy saving of 8.45 per cent on their total annual electricity bill. They also removed over 20 tonnes of carbon emissions from the environment each year.

I didn’t realise beforehand that this would be the biggest project of its kind in the UK, but that fact puts it all into perspective. Powerdown had a really robust plan to deliver over 1100 Mitchell & Butlers sites across the country.

When I looked into the technology, it was a no-brainer. It offered a quick return on investment with continued savings going forward and completely fitted with our environmental strategy.
