AMG Cold Stores has installed a next-generation energy efficiency and voltage harmonisation device that is saving the company over €11 per day on electricity bills.

Savings are expected to increase in the warmer months

The company is one of the first to adopt the ‘EPower’ energy saving device by Energia Europa, represented locally by Electrofix.

A test run by Energia Europa showed that AMG is now saving an average 16.22 per cent energy consumption a day – 139 kWh of energy a day – and 83.4kg of CO₂ emissions daily that translates to 9.26 square metres of forest land saved a day. In the warmer months, savings are expected to increase drastically due to the use of other machinery.

The Epower device fits between the electricity supply and the main distribution board and through a combination of voltage optimisation, power factor correction and harmonic filtration the system reduces energy consumption levels and optimises machinery and equipment maintenance costs. A domestic version, Ebox, is also available and yields electricity savings of up to 40 per cent.

Electrofix represents leading global brands including German Conergy, Swiss Pramac, Stiebel Eltron, Lorentz and leading solar water-heater brand, Solahart,and have been responsible for installations in large public andprivate premises.
