Voltage Optimisation: The Smart Way to Cut Business Energy Costs

Climate Impact News / 10th Oct 2025

Are you missing out on energy savings your business could be making today?

When companies look at cutting electricity bills, the term voltage optimisation (VO) often comes up. Far from just industry jargon, VO is a proven technology that stops businesses from paying for energy they don’t need.

At Olympus Power, we install VO systems across the UK, helping organisations reduce costs, protect infrastructure and lower carbon emissions. VO is a tested technology capable of delivering results from the moment it’s installed.

What is Voltage Optimisation?

In the UK, incoming electricity supply often reaches 240–253 volts, yet most electrical equipment is designed to operate optimally at 220 volts.

That extra voltage doesn’t boost performance instead, it creates wasted energy, heat, and strain on machinery.

A voltage optimiser solves this by regulating power to the correct level your systems need. The outcome: reduced electricity bills, extended equipment lifespan, and measurable carbon savings.

Key Benefits of Voltage Optimisation for Businesses

1. Prevent Wasted Energy

By supplying equipment with only the voltage it requires, VO prevents unnecessary consumption and protects against potential damage from excess voltage. This also reduces carbon emissions, supporting your net-zero goals.

2. Lower Energy Bills

On average, VO cuts electricity use by 5 – 10%, with some businesses achieving savings of up to 15% depending on site conditions.

3. Protect and Extend Equipment Life

Running at higher voltages stresses electrical components, leading to overheating, wear, and costly breakdowns. VO smooths voltage supply, reducing maintenance costs and extending equipment lifespan.

4. Long-Lasting and Low Maintenance

VO systems typically last 25+ years with minimal servicing required, making them a smart investment for the future.

5. Intelligent Monitoring

Olympus Power can provide the option for businesses to track their energy savings in real time with the VO Intelligent Monitoring Portal.

Once the VO device is installed, the portal gives transparent access to detailed performance data so clients can see exactly how much they’re saving. Monitoring voltage optimisation trends, reviewing site performance, or generating reports, it’s all at there, ready at the company’s fingertips.

6. Dynamic units

A dynamic VO unit is built from auto mechanical components and stabilising ability, and the system output can be adjusted without interruption to the load.

How Olympus Power Installs Voltage Optimisation

Site Survey – We assess your energy use and voltage supply.

Installation – A compact VO unit is fitted alongside your incoming power supply.

Instant Savings – Your system starts optimising power immediately.

With typical payback periods of 24–30 months under current electricity rates, VO is one of the fastest-return energy-saving investments available. Lease options are also available for zero upfront costs.

Which Businesses Benefit Most?

VO works with both single-phase and three-phase systems, making it suitable for most sectors. It is particularly effective in businesses with high or constant energy demand, including:

Hotels, pubs, and restaurants

Sports and leisure centres

Retail and hospitality venues

Power-intensive industries

Olympus Power can also provide case studies from existing clients already saving money with VO.

Installation: Quick and Straightforward

Olympus Power carries out a site survey to understand your power use. Installation is simple, the device is compact, fitted alongside your incoming power supply, and can be up and running quickly. Savings begin immediately.

We also offer lease options if upfront costs are a concern, with typical payback periods of 24–30 months under current electricity rates.
