Voltage Optimisation (VO) is a simple energy-saving solution that reduces the electricity voltage supplied to your equipment to the perfect level it needs to work efficiently. This reduces wasted energy, helps your equipment last longer, and lowers your electricity bills without impacting your devices' performance.
VO lowers the voltage to the optimal level, which means your equipment uses less power without losing performance.
By reducing electrical stress, your motors, lights, and other devices stay healthier and need fewer repairs or replacements.
VO smooths out voltage spikes and drops, decreasing the risk of equipment breakdowns and unexpected downtime.
Additional to your green energy procurement, Using less electricity means your business produces fewer carbon emissions, helping you meet sustainability goals.
Voltage Optimisation is an innovative and practical way for businesses to reduce energy costs and improve efficiency. Many companies begin seeing savings immediately, often cutting electricity costs by around 9% and reducing electric spend by up to 19%. Beyond lowering consumption and expenses, VO protects your equipment from the long-term damage caused by excessive voltage, helping to reduce maintenance issues and extend the lifespan of valuable assets. It’s especially effective in environments with lots of lighting, motors, or sensitive electronics, typically where voltage is often unnecessarily high. Best of all, installation is quick and unobtrusive and carried out at the central electrical intake with little to no disruption to your day-to-day operations.
The VO system is installed where your electricity supply enters your building. It monitors the voltage and automatically adjusts it to the ideal level for your equipment. This ensures your machines only get the power they need - cutting energy waste and preventing damage caused by voltage that's too high or unstable.
The process begins with an in-depth discussion to understand your business' energy consumption, costs, and sustainability goals. This helps determine whether Voltage Optimisation (VO) is a suitable solution.
Our engineers will conduct a detailed site survey to measure incoming voltage levels and analyse equipment sensitivity. Many UK sites receive higher-than-required voltage (often 240V–250V), which leads to wasted energy and increased wear on equipment.
Based on site-specific data, a tailored VO solution is designed to reduce and stabilise voltage optimally. VO helps maximise energy efficiency without compromising equipment performance.
A complete installation plan is developed to minimise disruption to operations. Generator backups or temporary switching measures may be included for critical systems to ensure uninterrupted service during implementation.
The VO equipment is installed by certified engineers, usually with minimal downtime. Once installed, the system is tested and commissioned to ensure correct performance and safe operation.
After installation, we deploy intelligent monitoring tools to provide real-time data on voltage levels, energy savings, and system health, allowing you to track your usage and savings. This enables transparency, performance tracking, and easier reporting on carbon reductions.
Voltage Optimisation offers a proven, cost-effective way to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions without compromising performance or operations. By stabilising voltage at optimal levels, businesses can unlock substantial savings, extend equipment lifespan, and support their sustainability goals, all with minimal disruption.
VO is a straightforward investment that delivers fast, measurable results and a strong return on investment. Ready to take control of your energy usage and make your operations greener? Voltage Optimisation could be the solution you’ve been looking for.
