One of our most recent voltage optimisation projects in the hotel industry was with Westmont Hospitality Group, which is an owner and operator of Hotels around the globe.

Westmont operates over 250 hotels in almost every country in Europe, they currently operate internationally under franchise agreements for hotel brands such as Hilton, IHG and Marriot.

Westmont hotels chose Powerdown220 to install voltage optimisation across a selection of five of their UK hotels. As part of the project we installed a voltage optimiser in:

  1. Double Tree Hilton Hyde Park, London
  2. Hilton Curio Westminster, London
  3. Victoria & Albert Marriot Hotel, London
  4. Brooklands Hotel, Surrey
  5. Crowne Plaza London, Ealing, an IHG Hotel

Across the five sites Westmont Hospitality will save a staggering £418K annually on their energy bills with the project paying for itself in just 7 months, leaving more room for investment in other areas of the business, we are proud to share the full project figures below:

The Mere Golf Resort Saves on Energy with Voltage Company Powerdown

Get a savings estimate

Mere Hotel, Golf Resort and Spa, near Knutsford, Cheshire approached Powerdown to find ways of reducing their energy bills and carbon footprint, by improving energy efficiency

At the start of our conversations, we were advised that over 1500 LED light bulbs had been changed in the previous 12-month period.

It quickly became clear that voltages of around 250V were having a significant effect on the working life of these bulbs, and causing them to blow frequently.

Since we installed the voltage optimiser, The Mere are only replacing a tiny percentage of their light bulbs annually compared to pre optimised voltage.

The Financial Controller at The Mere said “I am very happy with the service we received from Powerdown and everything was delivered as promised.”

I didn’t realise beforehand that this would be the biggest project of its kind in the UK, but that fact puts it all into perspective. Powerdown had a really robust plan to deliver over 1100 Mitchell & Butlers sites across the country.

Dale Fenton Energy Manager · Mitchell & Butlers

When I looked into the technology, it was a no-brainer. It offered a quick return on investment with continued savings going forward and completely fitted with our environmental strategy.
