| We were right about electricity prices | 12-02-07 |

We have been predicting many things regarding electricity prices. That didn't expect to the proven so right so quickly by the authorities themselves.
At the end of 2006, it was announced in the mainstream press that New South Wales should expect regular electricity blackouts within the next five years.
We introduced the OptiFlow product as a way of really break the back of electricity costs associated with ducting Systems. We expected to have to beat the market into submission before it admitted the stark truth about where electricity costs and supply going.
But the truth has been unearthed much faster than we expected. So the New South Wales government, through daily press, actually admitted that New South Wales will face regular electricity blackouts within the next five years.
We all know that when one powerful State in Australia talks up an impending crisis, time and again by default other States around the country have followed suit.
But the ones laughing now are those clients of ours who have already equipped themselves with OptiFlow. Using a negative pressure chamber (or system of these), allows companies to more cost efficiently, power, a high-volume ducting system and overall use far less electricity.
Ducting is not really any different to any other aspect of the company's operation when it comes to saving electricity.
Normally, what is needed is a proper performance vs cost analysis, and therefore a reworking of the entire ducting set-up to ensure it utilises electricity wisely.
OptiFlow has stepped in and provided this economic solution. Consider that the reasons given by the daily newspapers for these negative forecasts of regular blackout within five years is mainly down to an expected strain on existing grid capacities.
Strain on the grid normally occurs when demand exceeds supply, and in business terms when demand exceeds supply the only way prices will go is up.
We have managed to configure many different types of dust and fume extraction systems using various technologies, including OptiFlow and all embody electricity conservation at the thrust of their performance.
Taking action now to revamp the way electricity is utilised right throughout your ducting system will have a very significant impact on your business in five years time. OptiFlow may well be the solution.
