✅ Did you know you can cut transmission losses by ~9% simply by increasing voltage by 5% — without impacting end-user equipment?

This is possible thanks to technologies like ECOD, which regulate and compensate voltage at the consumer’s side.

⚡ Why does this work?

Transmission losses (those annoying I2RI^2 R losses) grow with current. But: P=U×I, so if you increase voltage (U), you can reduce current (I) for the same power, dramatically lowering losses.

For example:

+5% voltage → ~9% lower line losses

+10% voltage → ~17% lower line losses

+20% voltage → ~31% lower line losses

💰 What does that mean for real-world savings?

Imagine a factory pulling 1 MW over the grid, where lines lose 5% (50 kW) to heat:

Annual losses = 400,000 kWh/year → ~40,000 €/year (at 0.1 €/kWh)

After applying ECOD & raising grid voltage 5% → ~3,700 €/year saved

After +10% voltage → ~7,000 €/year saved

And this doesn’t even count CO₂ and sustainability benefits!

🌍 Why should we care?

As grids get smarter and more decentralized, local voltage management (with technologies like ECOD) unlocks:

✅ Lower losses

✅ Better grid efficiency

✅ More room for renewable integration

It’s a win-win for industry and sustainability.
