Demonstrating clear, measurable sustainability improvements and a pathway towards achieving net zero is crucial for all businesses. Moreover, environmental responsibility is also integral for good governance and risk management. Amid growing environmental awareness, overlooking decarbonisation can pose risks for businesses, such as: - Climate change impact due to increased carbon emissions. - Regulatory non-compliance risks and legal penalties. - Escalating energy expenses from reliance on fossil fuels. - Brand reputation damage and loss of consumer trust. - Vulnerability to supply chain disruptions and resource shortages. - Missed opportunities for innovation and market leadership. Powerstar’s low-carbon technologies provide numerous benefits in addition to decarbonisation. They optimise on-site renewable generation, reduce energy costs, and enhance energy security and independence. With Powerstar’s software, real-time decision-making for energy use is streamlined, maximising energy management.

🌟 Voltage Optimisation technology – where energy efficiency meets sustainability 🌟 Discover a powerful energy efficiency solution with Voltage Optimisation, a technology that significantly reduces energy costs, lowers carbon emissions, and safeguards your electrical infrastructure. The Challenge: Most UK businesses receive an overvoltage from their grid connection, averaging around 242V. This is substantially higher than the 220V that most equipment is designed to work optimally at, causing substantial inefficiencies. The Solution: Voltage Optimisation conditions and reduces incoming voltage to supply equipment with the optimal voltage level. Mitigates wasted energy, lowering both energy costs and associated carbon emissions. Protects equipment from the wear and tear caused by overvoltage, reducing maintenance and replacement costs. Quick and Easy Installation: Voltage Optimisation is very quick and easy to install, causing minimal disruption to your site. It immediately starts providing benefits, making it a seamless addition to your energy efficiency strategy.
