Large-scale distribution is one of the most energy-intensive sectors. The implementation of the EP-X system for energy savings provides immediate and widespread benefits to this particularly relevant sector, which is widespread throughout the national territory. Not only that: the current structure of the main groups and chains in the GDO sector has allowed us to install EP-X internationally, expanding awareness around the quality of our product throughout Europe.

In a highly competitive sector such as Large-scale distribution, it is essential to be able to offer added value and a message of solidarity and respect for the environment. The improvement of energy efficiency, guaranteed by EP-X and certified at the European level, not only allows companies to achieve energy-saving and emissions-reduction goals, but also becomes a key asset to link to their brand identity, to push competition towards green innovation.

Saving and improving industrial energy efficiency are among the main European and national focuses in terms of energy-saving regulations and emissions reduction. Improving energy performance in industrial plants allows for targeted interventions to reduce consumption and emissions in highly energy-intensive businesses.

Energia Europa has already installed EP-X devices in a growing number of leading companies aiming at industrial energy efficiency. As in other sectors, we have received significant recognition, extending installations even outside Europe. This result is possible thanks to the high quality, effectiveness, and reliability of a product based on solid research and development foundations, which can be quickly integrated into a company without modifying existing systems.

The plastics industry represents one of the most favorable sectors for the effectiveness of the EP-X system, in terms of energy efficiency, improvement of energy quality, and reduction of maintenance costs.

The plastics industry is vital for the European economy; producers of plastic raw materials, together with processors, recyclers, and machinery manufacturers, represent a value chain that employs over 1.5 million people in Europe in over 55 thousand companies, most of which are SMEs operating in all European countries, with a total turnover of over 350 billion euros.

The automotive and automation sectors are fundamental pillars of the European industry, contributing to productivity and competitiveness across the entire economy. In this context, Europe stands out for its technological leadership and the presence of many high-profile companies. The main players in these sectors are concentrated mainly in Germany, France, and Italy, but the entire and complex production chain also involves many other European countries.

In this highly energy-intensive industry with continuous production flows, the application of EP-X devices becomes essential to ensure energy optimization and improve power quality, a factor that contributes to the reduction of production downtimes.

The application areas of the EP-X device in this industry refer to both the food processing and beverage sectors. The units used are generally medium-high power, between 1,000 A and 2,000 A. The food (food and beverages) industry is among the most important industries in Europe in terms of turnover (about €1.2 trillion) and employment (around 4.7 million people, approximately 15% of total manufacturing employment in Europe), as highlighted in the 2018 report by the association FoodDrinkEurope.

It is an industry with nearly 300,000 companies, which has proven over time to be stable, strong, and resilient. Although diverse, its top five segments (bakery and farinaceous products, meat products, dairy industry, beverages, and other food products) account for three-quarters of total turnover and over 80% of companies and employees. Despite variations depending on market and company size, the entire food supply chain in recent years has shown increasing attention to energy efficiency and sustainability.

The high energy consumption in the hospitality and catering sector stems from a range of electrical equipment and lighting fixtures, most of which are essential for delivering basic services. These are unavoidable costs that weigh heavily on the budget. Installing EP-X makes it possible to achieve excellent results, as demonstrated by the case studies available on the page.

The variety of business types within the hospitality and catering sector is reflected in a wide range of specific needs. However, what is essential—especially in this sector—is comprehensive consultancy that includes not only the technical data required to size and optimise the EP-X product, but also an overview of the incentives and subsidies available to the hospitality and catering industry, which are particularly crucial at this time.

Energy savings in the administrative logistics sector have the advantage of being perceived more tangibly by the users of the spaces who receive energy through the EP-X filter. Structures that benefit from our energy-saving solution in this sector experience the environments daily, which may be lacking in other facilities. The direct economic benefit consists of lower energy procurement costs, supplemented by reduced indirect costs due to less maintenance and fewer replacements of electrical equipment and lighting fixtures. In the reported case studies, we can boast particularly satisfying results.

The application areas of the EP-X device primarily concern logistics hubs and administrative centers, with average power ratings between 600 A and 1,600 A. The logistics world in general represents an enormous and strategic sector of the EU economy, accounting for about 5% of the economy's added value and generating employment for over 11 million workers.
