Following the recent changes to the government’s Enhanced Capital Allowance (ECA) scheme for energy saving technologies, Eaton has announced that its 9395 UPSs with ratings of 275, 550, 675, 825 and 1,100kVA have remained on the Energy Technology List (ETL).
Despite the increase to the operating efficiency levels that products are now required to meet, Eaton’s 9395 range still qualify meaning that users not only benefit from reduced running costs, but can also offset 100% of purchase and installation costs against tax in the first year.
Eaton’s 9395 UPSs, designed for use where the highest protection levels against power problems are needed, first qualified for the ECA scheme in 2010. To qualify, the products had to achieve prescribed operating efficiencies at loads of 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. However, following recommendations made by the Carbon Trust who manage the ETL, the government announced that a number of changes to the ECA Scheme would come into effect in the autumn of 2012 including an increase in required efficiencies.
