Are you still paying for reactive energy on your electricity bill?

If you see a line on your electricity bill where reactive energy appears, it's time to understand what it consists of. We explain what it is and how to eliminate this cost from your invoice.

What is reactive energy?

Reactive energy is the extra energy demand that some inductive devices, such as motors, transformers or lamps, need to function. This reactive energy reduces the efficiency of the installations, as it does not produce useful work. Furthermore, it is negative for the electrical fabric in general, because it causes distortions in the transport network.

If the reactive energy exceeds a percentage of the active energy consumed, a fine is applied to the Distributor's electrical bill.

How can I eliminate this reactive energy?

Reactive energy can be compensated by installing a capacitor bank in your business, which avoids fines and saves on your electricity bill.

What are the advantages of installing a capacitor bank?

At Audax Renewables we want companies, businesses, small businesses and self-employed workers to benefit from the advantages of installing a capacitor bank in their business, to save on their electricity bills. The main advantages of installing a capacitor bank are the following:

  • Avoid fines for excess reactive energy;
  • Increases the capacity of installed lines and transformers;
  • Improves network tension;
  • Reduces energy losses in cables and their heating;
  • Reduces the total cost of energy.

What do I need to calculate the battery best suited to my needs?

Based on your last 6 invoices, we will estimate the most suitable capacitor bank for your business's energy needs, as long as consumption conditions remain the same.

How can I purchase the capacitor bank?

At Audax Renewables we provide a complete capacitor bank installation service for companies, businesses, small businesses and self-employed workers. The service includes:

  • The capacitor bank;
  • Standard capacitor bank installation;
  • Starting up the equipment;
  • All of this with exclusive payment facilities for our customers.

Is installation included in the cost of the capacitor bank?

We know that the life of an entrepreneur is not easy. Therefore, at Audax Renewables standard installation is included for all of our capacitor banks. Furthermore, the installation is carried out by specialized personnel, so that our customers do not have to worry about absolutely anything.

What is the delivery time for the equipment?

We estimate a delivery time of 15 days from the moment we receive the signed contract at our offices. Our technicians will contact you to define the time and date for installation.

What payment facilities or discounts can I have?

Audax Renewables customers can finance batteries for 12 months interest-free. We also offer additional direct discounts on the price of the battery by “cash payment” which will be 10% when financing it in 6 months or 20% if paid in cash.

What happens if I install a capacitor bank, but they continue to bill me for reactive energy consumption?

If you have a capacitor bank already installed in your business, but the reactive energy consumption continues to appear on the invoice, it may be because the battery does not work correctly, or because the current reactive energy consumption is higher than what the battery can compensate. In this case, we offer you an optional service to check the functioning of your capacitor bank and advise you on repairing it or exchanging it for one more suited to your new needs.

Companies, businesses, small businesses and independent workers know better than anyone the importance of reducing expenses. By installing a capacitor bank you can benefit from greater savings on your electricity bill, without having to worry about anything. Join in saving on electricity!

Does your company still pay for reactive energy?

Reactive energy is the extra energy demand that some inductive devices, such as motors, transformers or lamps, need to function. This energy drastically reduces the efficiency of large company facilities. It does not produce useful work and is negative for the electricity grid in general, as it causes distortions in the transport network.

For these reasons, if the reactive energy exceeds a percentage of the reactive energy consumed, the Distributor applies a fine on the invoice. The good news is that you can stop paying for this reactive energy if you compensate it with the installation of a capacitor bank, which avoids the fine and adds electricity savings to your electricity bill.

At Audax Renewables, we are committed to the efficient management of reactive energy as one of the saving factors in large companies. Through a personalized study of your supply, we recommend which type of capacitor bank is best suited so that you stop paying for reactive energy. You would be surprised at how much your company can save on reactive energy with a simple installation. Likewise, we take care of everything so you don't have to worry about anything and just notice the savings on your bill.
