The BBC reported that National Grid has warned that its capacity to supply electricity this winter will be at a seven-year low due to generator closures and breakdowns.

Spare electricity capacity, which ran at about 5% over the winter months last year, would be nearer 4% this year, National Grid said.  Three years ago the margin was 17%.

At IDS we have a favourite saying of you should try and save the energy you are already using rather than looking at alternative fuels and this you can do with inverters.  This will have the knock on effect of taking the pressure off of generating more electricity.

Let IDS help you reduce the energy consumption of your electric motors.  We will conduct our Energy Efficiency Motor Audit to see if you can reduce your electricity consumption without reducing your production or your air comfort or affect your processes.  Call us now to book your survey and see if you can reduce your energy consumption without changing your operating/manufacturing times.
