Cut costs and boost efficiency with voltage optimisation
With more than half of businesses planning to prioritise investment in automation, and energy bills set to rise by 5% over the next year, finding smarter ways to manage power has never been more critical. What if you could slash energy costs, overcome grid constraints, and support your carbon reduction goals - all at the same time?
Speaking at Food Manufacturing Live, James Hampshire, principal engineer at Powerstar, demonstrates how modern power technologies, such as Voltage Optimisation, advanced transformers, and behind-the-meter Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), are transforming manufacturing operations, improving efficiency, and delivering measurable savings.
In his presentation, James looks at which power management technologies can tackle the energy challenges at a food manufacturing site, and how Voltage Optimisation works to reduce site energy consumption. He discusses the benefits of upgrading your infrastructure with modern, amorphous core transformers, and focuses on how Battery Energy Storage can balance grid demand, integrate on-site renewables, and support your net-zero goals.
Demonstrating real-world results, James highlights how Powerstar has helped manufacturers reduce energy bills by 6-9% per year on average.
