Scottish and Southern Energy (SSE) has undertaken UK trials of VPhase into households. The three month trial saw the unit installed into approximately 50 SSE customer homes across Berkshire, under the UK Government’s Carbon Emissions Reduction Target (CERT) scheme.
The Ofgem CERT Demonstration Action report has been published and is available to view in our reviews section HERE.
"We are always on the look out for innovative ways to help our customers reduce their energy consumption. Industrial and commerical customers have obviously been able to use voltage reduction devices for some time, so, when we were approached by VPhase, we were keen to try out their domestic version. Our hope is that householders will almost immediately see savings in terms of energy consumption as well as a reduction in carbon emissions."

Paul Wilkins, SSE's Energy Efficiency Team Manager September 2009.

 VPhase is also working with British Gas on routes to market the product through British Gas’s existing supply channels.
"We are working hard to help our customers use less energy which in turn will help save them money and reduce their carbon footprint. As part of this drive to help our customers become more energy efficient, British Gas is currently conducting technical and commercial trials of the VPhase unit."
"We pride ourselves on the key role we play in helping our customers reduce carbon emissions and save money, which is why Voltage Optimisation is one of a range of energy efficient products and services we are investing in."

Gearoid Lane, Director of British Gas New Energy. September 2009
