Pets at Home, the UK’s leading pet care retailer, operates over 450 stores nationwide, offering a range of services, including pet supplies, grooming, and veterinary care. As a business committed to sustainability, Pets at Home is continually seeking ways to minimise its environmental impact and improve energy efficiency across its operations.
Challenge:
With a vast network of stores and service centres, Pets at Home faced increasing energy demands to support its daily operations, including lighting, refrigeration, and heating. The company sought an effective solution to reduce energy consumption, cut carbon emissions, and lower operational costs without compromising the customer experience or the comfort of pets in their care. Finding a scalable and efficient energy-saving measure was key to aligning with their long-term sustainability goals.
Solutions:
To tackle these challenges, Pets at Home worked with Powerhub Solutions to deploy Voltage Optimisation (VO) technology across multiple locations. This system ensures that the electricity supplied to the stores operates at an optimal voltage level, preventing energy wastage and improving the efficiency of electrical equipment. By integrating this solution into their energy management strategy, Pets at Home was able to make meaningful progress toward reducing unnecessary energy consumption while maintaining seamless business operations.
