Npower Business offers SMEs UK first in voltage optimisation

Npower Business is offering its customers voltage optimisation technology that could reduce energy bills by 15 percent.

Npower Business said it is the first energy company in the UK to offer voltage optimisation units to small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) after partnering with UK company EMSc.

The supplier said that electricity is supplied at higher voltage than most sites require which allows an onsite installed voltage optimisation unit to lower the voltage to optimum levels and lowering bills, but also extending the life of electrical equipment and reducing carbon emissions.

Npower Business said the Powerstar power saving device has been proven to save SMEs between 12 and 15 percent.

Npower Business’s SME markets director Philip Scholes said: “From our own discussions with our customers, we know that they are all looking to get a better handle on their outgoings, reducing them where and wherever possible.

“Whilst many shrug off energy as a necessary cost, there are almost always ways in which businesses can make greater savings; and voltage optimisation is one of the many tools we can supply our customers to help them to save money.”
