As a 43 acre koi farm, our power consumption is quite large. In the past year we have looked at ways to reduce our energy costs including solar and wind. However, the initial investment is considerably large and it takes many years to see a return. Instead, we had a Power Shaver installed today. Essentially this unit conditions the power that is coming in to the farm. It converts unusable energy to usable energy. Before the unit was installed today, we were able to utilize 84% of the energy coming in. After the unit was installed, we are able to utilize 94% of the power. We are having another Power Shaver “Uses” unit installed which should bring us closer to 100%. These units are also available for residential use, and the cost per unit is based on a households overall consumption. Also, it is important to keep in mind that these units are designed to increase the efficiency of motor loads. The Power Shaver company anticipates that we will see a 10-12% savings on our electricity bill. An analysis will be done after our next bill. We will keep you updated as we learn more information.
