Energy efficiency paybacks could provide companies with a 20% ROI
Energy efficiency is all about the long game. Europe needs to reduce energy consumption by 20% by 2020 (although analysts predict it won’t even have cut down by 10% by then) and companies are incentivised to reduce carbon emissions with promises of five-year paybacks. If at first this seems too long a wait for the benefits of energy efficiency solutions such as the installation of voltage regulators, then consider the fact that this represents a return on investment of as much as 20%, explains energy saving technology company EcoAdapt (http://www.ecoadapt.co.uk).
In the current economic climate, most companies are more likely to be talking about survival than expansion; about keeping steadily successful rather than playing the invest and profit gamble. So you would imagine that any financial director would jump at the chance of a 20% ROI, even if the benefits of that return would be felt over the next five years. That’s how companies should be approaching an energy efficiency strategy (and since carbon reduction initiatives such as the Climate Change Levy and the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme, every company needs to have such a strategy): by playing the long game.
All companies in the UK are now expected to ensure power reduction across their organisations; after all demand reduction is a sure-fire way to reduce carbon emissions and therefore help to meet the ambitious EU targets. But the fact is, it’s not just the EU Climate Change contingent which will stand to benefit from this power reduction. Choose the right energy efficiency solution and companies will begin to significantly reduce electric costs and ultimately gain a hefty 20% ROI, a return which seems sky-high in these challenging economic conditions.
EcoAdapt’s voltage optimisation (VO) equipment is designed with patented Sensing Technology™, reducing electricity costs and associated carbon emissions by ensuring only electricity which is actually required is taken from the National Grid. EcoAdapt’s clients across a number of sectors in the UK and Europe don’t even have to wait for the five-year payback. They benefit from electricity and carbon savings which range from 8 to 20%; savings which are fully realised any time between 12 and 30 months after VO installation.
