Energy efficiency grants
Variable Speed Drives
We currently have grants available for applicants who are installing variable speed
drives to pump, compressors and fans etc. The grant assistance we provide is up
to 33% of the cost of the equipment. Companies will also benefit from a free survey
by experienced engineers who recommended fittings, costs, estimated annual savings
and payback periods Typically the pay pack for these schemes is less than two years.
Our approved contractors are:

Keeping Energy Prices In The Frame
One of Northern Ireland’s most successful manufacturers, Camden Group, participated
in Energia’s 2006/07 Energy Efficiency Grant Scheme. The company has invested in
an energy efficient variable speed drive compressor to help maintain its competitive
edge.
The variable speed drive should significantly reduce the company’s electricity usage.
The energy savings are so significant that the payback period for the installation
of the energy efficient technology is less than two years.
The door and window frame maker which employs 460 workers in it’s Antrim plant says
energy prices are having a major impact on our competitiveness and the need to reduce
consumption is more urgent than ever.
"We have opted for Energia’s grant-aided efficiency scheme which should see our
investment paid back within two years," says Camden Group Project Manager Lindsay
McDowell. "The reduction in the compressors electricity consumption should be in
the region of fifty per cent."
"The variable speed drive compressor will help us reduce consumption very effectively
and we would recommend anyone in business to sign up to the scheme which is currently
grant aided by Energia" says Mr McDowell.
