Installing a powerPerfector unit is believed to be a solution. A powerPerfector unit reduces energy consumption by optimising the incoming voltage.
Part of the government’s legislation on climate change, the CRC, would make excessive energy consumption a matter for compliance from April 2010, said powerPerfector. Carbon will no longer be a hidden cost to business but have a hard cost attached to it. Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (UK) has said around 20,000 organisations may be affected by the scheme, and that failure to comply will result in penalties including monetary fines.
According to the company, one response to excessive energy consumption and meeting CRC targets will be powerPerfector’s voltage optimisation technology. Positioned between a building’s main distribution board and the electricity meter, the unit optimises the incoming voltage and improves power quality.
Angus Robertson, CEO of powerPerfector, said: “Costs, carbon and climate change are priorities for business leaders everywhere. Voltage optimisation enables you to start solving them immediately, tackling waste and quality issues.
“With powerPerfector you can save up to 20% of your electricity costs and CO2 emissions in one installation. That means a fixed saving in costs and emissions, getting ahead of CRC targets and becoming a better corporate citizen.”
