I & H Brown: Blindwells
Challenge
The existing setup provided by the previous supplier failed to meet the customer expectations or achieve the proposed reduction in fuel expenses despite the implementation of a fuel-reducing product. The client, I & H Brown, aimed to significantly lower fuel consumption and the carbon footprint at their East Lothian site.
Wernick Power Solutions was entrusted with the task of devising a more effective approach by analysing data and proposing an optimal solution.

One of the team members recently visited our site and quickly identified a more efficient way to manage the power provisions. They took the time to sit with us and explain the achievable benefits of setting up the system correctly.
Now, every time I leave the offices, our site is running on battery power, and I rarely hear the generator coming on. We're also seeing a noticeable reduction in fuel costs due to the decreased generator usage.
