For any hospital, having a reliable power supply is critical for maintaining ongoing operations and ensuring patient safety during outages.    Working with a local NHS hospital, we upgraded their existing UPS system to a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) that leverages the rapid switching speed and reliability of an Uninterruptible Power Supply.    Here’s how our BESS with UPS helped the hospital save £225k annually while safeguarding against power disruptions. 👇 https://lnkd.in/emVcJKzA

⚡ A New Generation of Energy ⚡ The world has changed drastically over the last decade, and the UK’s energy mix is now greener than ever. As the UK phases out a coal-powered era, we look to a future powered by renewable energy sources such as solar and wind. But a rapid shift to green energy has brought its own challenges, with greater pressure on the National Grid increasing the risk of blackouts and disruptions. This transition is an opportunity for UK businesses to strengthen their energy security, while paving the way for cleaner, more affordable energy for everyone. 🌍✨ #EnergyTransition #RenewableEnergy #CleanPower #Sustainability #FutureOfEnergy

Did you know transformers are typically designed to operate at full capacity for around 20–30 years? Yet, according to research by UK Parliament, the average transformer is a staggering 64 years old! 😲 These ageing transformers are silent energy guzzlers, requiring costly maintenance and safety upgrades as they near the end of their lifecycle. Ignoring this ageing infrastructure isn’t an option — transformer upgrades are crucial to prevent power failures, reduce energy waste, and ensure a more sustainable future. #EnergyEfficiency #NetZero #Sustainability #PowerManagement
