Sectors
Built for UK estates with measurable electricity loads.
Voltage optimisation works across sectors, but the load profile, install window, and commercial case differ from site type to site type. Pick your sector below, or if you're not sure which bucket you fit in, talk to us and we'll sort it during the survey.
-
01
Healthcare
NHS trusts, hospitals, health centres, care homes. Continuous load, tight change control, SECR and net-zero reporting pressure.
-
02
Education
MATs, universities, FE colleges, primary and secondary schools. Half-term and holiday install windows make VO a natural fit.
-
03
Hospitality
Hotel groups, pub chains, restaurant groups. Long hours, kitchen-heavy load, strong payback on sites with refrigeration.
-
04
Retail
Multi-site retailers, shopping centres, high-street estates. Standardise one VO spec across the estate and roll up the savings.
-
05
Manufacturing
Food, process, light industrial. Continuous motor-driven load and high annual spend = fastest typical payback.
-
06
Public sector
Councils, civic buildings, leisure centres. Clean fit for SECR and net-zero reporting across a mixed estate.
What's true across every sector
Whatever the building, the physics is the same: if your incoming supply is running above the rating of your equipment, you're paying for the gap. The saving depends on how much of your load is voltage-sensitive (motors, lighting, power supplies, resistive heating elements) and how far above 220 V your supply typically sits.
The commercial case shifts by sector. A food-manufacturing site with £500k/yr electricity spend looks very different from a primary school with £30k/yr. For some sectors (heavy manufacturing, large healthcare), VO makes sense on a single site. For others (multi-academy trusts, retail chains), it makes sense as a portfolio roll-out.
Try the calculator to get a ballpark for your site, or request a survey and we'll give you a defensible answer.
