Top CLASS energy project to save £100m for customers

Schneider Electric is delighted to be working with Electricity North West on this innovative project using modern technology to make their power networks dynamic, responsive to customer needs and to reduce costs. This initiative fits with our underlying mission of making the very best of our energy for all concerned and we will strive to make this project a success for all involved.

Steve Cox, engineering and technology director for Electricity North West, said: “We are always looking at ways we can use new technology to improve service and reduce costs for our customers. By reducing the voltage across the whole network at tiny levels which are unnoticeable to end users, we can save a significant amount of power for the region. 

“This ground-breaking approach can be used to help balance electricity supply and demand for the whole of Great Britain. This makes the network more flexible and importantly, helps save customers money.”
