Why are we excited about lighting? Lighting accounts for 19% of the world electricity utilization. Thats a massive amount and a huge chance to cut emissions and our electricity bills 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 major win of all.
Green is good, and right now, 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 picking between a handful of energy efficient forms of lighting – compact fluorescents (CFL) and light emitting diodes (LED)
With the present power capacity, South Africa is in dire strait. The country is currently revamping all current power stations, and Eskom expenditure plan over the next number of years required to keep the country on course is extraordinary.
Theres a huge pressure to construct 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 utilization by bringing in technology that will enable utilisation and reduction of kW and thats were Voltex come in. There are vast occasion within the country power crisis and the usage of energy saving bulbs has become important.
Not only has the power crisis affected the lighting sector, but the financial metldown too.
The broad drop off in lighting equipment wolrdwide has been in region of 30-35 over the last two years.
Six or seven year ago Voltex was the first lighting company to target energy services,sooner before the deficiency of power capacity became an problem in South Africa. We targeted it from a strategic point of view a lot sooner than it happened. That means that when you’re chasing energy services projects, its not economy related. If theres an recognized company thats already using energy efficient lighting and you can propose them an appealing pay back, which we do, then we are no reliant on new development in the building industry.
South Africa has no other alternative then to prioritize all energy programs.
Therefore Voltex will undoubtedly continue to play a significant role inbringing the latest technologies to the market and assured its leading position for many years. We are based on sound planning and strategy building, and making sure that is reviewed.
