The short version.
Running a large restaurant network meant high electricity bills and carbon emissions. Pizza Express wanted to cut both without affecting service.
Powerhub Solutions installed voltage optimisation across its facilities, bringing incoming voltage down to the level equipment needs.
Electricity bills and carbon emissions came down, supporting its Lean and Green goals. The savings gave a quick payback.
Background
Pizza Express, a renowned UK-based restaurant chain, operates numerous outlets across the country, offering Italian-inspired cuisine to a broad customer base. Demonstrating a strong commitment to environmental sustainability, Pizza Express joined the Lean & Green programme, an initiative recognising companies that successfully meet CO₂ reduction targets.
Challenge
Operating a vast network of restaurants involves substantial energy consumption, leading to high electricity bills and significant carbon emissions. Pizza Express sought to implement effective energy-saving measures to reduce operational costs and minimise their environmental footprint without compromising the quality of service and dining experience for their customers.
Solutions
To address these challenges, Pizza Express partnered with Powerhub Solutions to implement Voltage Optimisation (VO) technology across their facilities. VO technology adjusts the incoming voltage to optimal levels, ensuring electrical equipment operates efficiently, thereby reducing energy consumption.
Results
- Energy Savings: Noticeable reductions in electricity bills, contributing to operational cost savings
- Carbon Emission Reduction: A decrease in carbon emissions, aligning with Pizza Express’s sustainability goals.
- Swift Return on Investment: The energy savings achieved facilitated a rapid payback period for the investment in VO technology.
Conclusion
Pizza Express successfully enhanced the energy efficiency of its operations, aligning with its commitment to environmental sustainability. The implementation of Voltage Optimisation technology not only resulted in significant energy and cost savings but also played a crucial role in reducing the organisation’s carbon footprint. This case exemplifies how targeted energy efficiency initiatives can drive both environmental and economic benefits in the pursuit of corporate sustainability goals.
