Why using Green energyLighting
So whats so exciting about lighting? Lighting accounts for 19% of the world electricity consumption. Thats a huge amount and a huge chance to make the world cleaner and improve our savings Whats more, the beauty of switching to energy efficient is that we can make cuts today. In terms of climate change improvement, that is the biggest win of all.
Green is good, and currently, energy saving light bulbs are all the rage. With the looming phase-out of old-fashioned incandescent light bulbs in many developed countries, communities are faced with selecting between a handful of energy saving forms of lighting - compact fluorescents (CFL) and light emitting diodes (LED)
In the current days, South Africa is in a critical situation. The country is busy trying to re-establish existing power stations, and Eskom expenditure plan over the next number of years required to keep the country on track is phenomenal.
Theres a vast pressure to assemble the power capacity. The reality is we will never be able to meet the demand over the next 10 years. So. On the other side of the coin, main users need to reduce their consumption by bringing in technology that will enable utilisation and reduction of kW and thats were Voltex come in. There are vast opportunity within the country power predicament and the usage of energy saving bulbs has become indispensable.
Not only has the power crisis affected the lighting trade, but the financial metldown too.
The main drop off in lighting across the world has been in zone of 30-35 over the last two years.
Six or seven year ago Voltex was the foremost lighting company to target energy services,long before the lack of power capacity became an concern in South Africa. We targeted it from a strategic point of view a lot earlier than it happened. That means that when you’re pursuing energy services projects, its not economy related. If theres an well-known company thats already using energy efficient lighting and you can recommend them an pleasing pay back, which we do, then we are no reliant on new building construction taking place.
Energy programs, both in terms of products and systems are critical for South Africa going forwards.
Voltex will surely continue to play a important role inintroducing all the new system to the industry modern advances and secure its postion of leader for years to come. We are based on sound planning and strategy building, and making sure that is reviewed.
