The Environment
Agency has become
the latest government
agency to install
voltage power
optimisation and has
signed a contract to
install
powerPerfector units
across 33 sites. The
estimated effect on
these buildings will be
a 12% reduction in carbon emissions
per year and energy savings of up to
£200,000; the initiative will pay for
itself in 3 to 4 years.

powerPerfector’s guaranteed
delivery of carbon savings and return
on investment has seen a number of
Blue Chip organisations install VPO
units and, in the public
sector, DECC, DEFRA,
Ofgem and DFID, are
benefiting.

Graham Ledward,
director of resources at
the Environment
Agency, points out that
improved environmental
performance does not
have to mean increased
costs and that, in fact,
good environmental performance
makes business sense because it can
cut costs.
