GWE Limited
We specialise in energy savings for a wide range of premises. We can combine voltage optimisation with other technologies to provide the highest levels of energy savings possible, dependent on site specific issues. GW Energy (GWE) is an electrical engineering company formed in 1994 as the first manufacturer of voltage optimisation units in the UK. It is privately owned by two proud Yorkshire men – both with extensive electrical engineering backgrounds – who originally met as apprentices to British Steel Corporation. The pair developed a bespoke system for optimising the voltage supply within the power-hungry steel works. The impact was enormous. Fast forward to today and GWE is responsible for the installation of over 5,000 energy saving systems globally in the public and private sector. Their prestigious client base boasts brands such as Kelloggs and Panasonic who enjoy energy savings worth thousands of pounds every year.

About Us
Whether a bespoke system or off the shelf unit fitted by a contractor – each installation is backed up with GWE ‘No Quibble Manufacturers 5 to 15 Year Warranty’. All units are manufactured in the UK, underpinned by the Made In Sheffield endorsement. GWE was also one of the first companies in UK to get the ISO 9001:2015 accreditation.
What is Voltage Optimisation?
EBecome a Partner - GW EnergyCO-MAX Voltage optimisation is an electrical energy saving technique that is installed in series with the electricity supply to match supply voltage specific to the site’s equipment.
Voltage optimisation reduces the voltage of the electricity supplied to equipment, ensuring the excess voltages from the national grid supply isn’t used at the site. By simply rejecting and returning the surplus to grid, site consumption is minimised while remaining within the operating conditions specified by the equipment manufacturer.
GWE were heavily involved in the writing of the official document BEAMA – A guide to optimisation, to download the full document click here.
Domestic units are fitted in a morning and begin to make savings straight away; commercial units are generally fitted in a day and bespoke, large scale industrial systems can take a little longer, but deliver enormous savings.
Your Eco-Max home Voltage Optimiser is installed in series with the electricity supply. Typically this is under your stairs or wherever you mains electricity supply enters you home.
The Eco-max Commercial is designed for business premises and so will be installed wherever the mains supply enters you business property.
Large, bespoke Voltage Optimisation systems will take up a self-contained area of approximately one metre in a convenient position close to your electricity supply.
We offer three main types of Voltage Optimiser, as well as a range of additional modules for a more comprehensive energy saving solution.
- Eco-Max Home – Single phase for domestic and small commercial use
- Eco-Max Commercial – 3 phase, up to 1200 Amps
- Eco-Max Power – up to 4350 Amps bespoke for large industrial size installations
How Successful is Voltage Optimisation?
Our guarantee offers the ultimate reassurance that you will make the savings we predict. If you don’t – then we make up the shortfall. In truth our customers always have achieved what we predict and most have realised larger benefits.
We have published a series of Case studies to illustrate the success some of our customers have achieved.
