Maximise your site's energy efficiency
Unlock energy savings and optimise site efficiency with Voltage Optimisation. With thousands of units deployed worldwide, our cutting-edge systems reduce energy consumption, lower operational costs, and support your sustainability goals
On average, our customers save 5-8% on their annual energy bills.
Typical payback period with immediate savings.
Low maintenance costs
Reduced wear and tear means electrical equipment lasts longer
How does Voltage Optimisation work?
The National Grid often supplies voltage at over 240V, even though most site equipment operates efficiently at 230V.
This overvoltage increases energy waste, accelerates wear, and drives up carbon emissions. Voltage Optimisation (VO) technology adjusts incoming voltage to the optimal level for your site, ensuring your equipment runs efficiently and reliably.

Accelerate your Net Zero journey
Our voltage optimisation technology is proven to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions, helping your business achieve its decarbonisation goals and drive the transition to net zero.
Discounts on government schemes
Contribute to schemes such as the Climate Change Agreement (CCA), which reduces the Climate Change Levy (CCL) and offers discounts of up to 95%.
Cost savings
Cut energy bills by 5-8%, with an average return on investment typically achieved within 2-5 years, enabling your business to offset rising energy costs and stay competitive.
Stabilise voltage
Our Powerstar MAX systems regulate and stabilise your site voltage to address frequency and voltage fluctuations caused by grid instability and intermittent renewable sources – such as solar and wind.
Overcome grid constraints
Voltage optimisation can be implemented without complex grid connection approvals, bypassing lengthy delays and allowing businesses to improve energy efficiency and reliability immediately.
Voltage Optimisation: Your Path to Smarter Energy
1. Project Discussion
Get in touch with our team or complete the form below to help us understand your requirements. We’ll then assess the potential for savings and provide indicative ROI based on site specifics.
2. Site Survey
Our Powerstar experts will then conduct a site survey to scope installation requirements and costs, alongside a detailed voltage log to understand your site’s profile.
3. Final Proposal Provided
We’ll send you a comprehensive proposal with an overview of projected kWh and CO2 savings.
4. Installation and Commissioning
Once approved, Powerstar’s accredited installers will deliver and install the unit according to the agreed schedule. We’ll then commission the unit, ensuring it is fully operational and seamlessly integrated with the existing infrastructure.
5. Aftercare and Monitoring
Our aftercare team will provide training on our online portal and conduct ongoing monitoring and support to ensure the system is delivering the expected benefits.
