Arneg New Zealand, a specialist in Natural Refrigeration, is currently running an electricity efficiency program based on the installation of energy efficient equipment in commercial & industrial refrigeration systems. 

With refrigeration accounting for up to 50% of typical commercial end-users total energy consumption, Arneg New Zealand in a joint venture partnership with Schneider Electrical and with the Electricity Commission’s funding support, are looking to offer end-users affordable Variable Speed Drives (VSD’s) on their compressors and condensers. Part of the program is also dedicated to offering timers on electrical defrost elements which will reduce the overall consumption of their refrigeration systems. 

The funding support will help ensure this energy saving technology is more attractive and accessible to commercial and industrial refrigeration end users.   According to the company’s press release, the return on investment can be as low as 1.5 years, based on energy savings relative to each site.
