Smart Strategies to Stay Within Network Limits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

James DiLiberto<\/a>, CEO of AZZO<\/a>, introduced three key strategies to manage energy demand effectively:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Implement Energy Management Systems (EMS):<\/strong> These systems enable real-time load control and the integration of onsite generation\u2014such as solar PV and batteries\u2014helping sites operate within existing electrical limits.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Use Smart Controls and Monitoring:<\/strong> By collecting and analysing granular energy data, facilities can optimise usage, reduce peak demand, and enhance overall energy efficiency.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Integrate Onsite Renewables:<\/strong> Harnessing solar and battery storage not only cuts grid dependence but also eases the strain on legacy infrastructure, potentially deferring the need for upgrades.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Craig Morgan on the Value of Energy Efficiency<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Craig Morgan, Group Sales Director at Northmore Gordon, offered further insight into how energy efficiency plays a vital role in this equation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    \u201cWhen you reduce demand through energy efficiency, you’re not just lowering your bills,\u201d said Morgan<\/a>. \u201cYou’re freeing up capacity on your existing infrastructure, which can delay or eliminate the need for upgrades that often run into the hundreds of thousands\u2014or even millions\u2014of dollars.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    He shared examples of how Northmore Gordon has worked with industrial clients to conduct detailed energy assessments, helping them remain within the capacity of their existing transformers and feeders\u2014thereby avoiding expensive and time-consuming grid upgrades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A Strategic Imperative for Industry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    With electrical network constraints increasingly common\u2014particularly in older industrial estates and rapidly developing areas\u2014these approaches are becoming critical for cost-effective growth. As Morgan noted, \u201cIn today\u2019s energy environment, smarter use of energy is just as important as clean energy.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
