The federal government has announced a new Australia energy policy, after deciding against adopting the Clean Energy Target recommended by Chief Scientist Alan Finkel. The new plan, called the National Energy Guarantee (NEG), will require electricity retailers to make a certain amount of dispatchable power available at all times and also to reduce the electricity sector’s greenhouse emissions by 26% (relative to 2005 levels) by 2030. Our August blog on LEDs, the Energy Savings Scheme and the future of Australia’s energy market alluded to a government policy void and the struggle that the State ..read more

  Power Factor Correction   While we spend much of our time thinking and talking about the benefits of energy efficient LED lighting, there are other ways to save on your energy consumption, which we also advocate. Power Factor Correction is one such way.   What is Power Factor?   A poor Power Factor occurs when a load is drawing more electrical energy than is necessary, for conversion into a given amount of useful work. If your site has poor Power Factor, you could be paying for energy that ends up not being used at all.   Let’s take coffee as an example for how this ..read more
