Optimising The Way: making Net Zero a reality with Voltage Optimisation

UK equipment is designed for 220V but supply can reach 245V. Voltage optimisation can cut consumption by up to 20% and extend asset life.

Optimising The Way: making Net Zero a reality with Voltage Optimisation

Sustainability is now a fundamental part of most business models. National lockdowns produced a 5.8% reduction in global emissions and a much-needed respite for the planet — but there is a considerable amount of work ahead. To reach net zero emissions by 2050, businesses must commit to cutting their carbon footprint this decade, and intelligent technology and power protection are among the fastest routes.

What is voltage optimisation?

Voltage optimisation reduces energy consumption and cost by up to 20% by keeping the mains supply within the intended voltage range of your equipment. In the UK, electrical equipment is designed to operate at around 220 volts, while generated electricity can reach 245 volts. Voltage optimisation stabilises the output to align with what your equipment actually needs.

If your business relies heavily on voltage-dependent appliances — particularly at industrial scale — the case is compelling.

Benefits

  • **Lower consumption.** Voltage is regulated and matched to equipment requirements.
  • **Lower carbon footprint.** Less electricity drawn means fewer emissions from generation.
  • **Guaranteed savings.** Measurable financial savings on energy bills.
  • **Extended equipment life.** Reduced wear from excess voltage means lower repair and replacement costs.
