The company, which is enjoying its largest period of growth since entering the market in 2010 has also provided solutions to Investec, Continental Cars and the Manhattan Hotel, which have saved 11.51 per cent, 13.6 per cent and 20.71 per cent in energy charges respectively.
The company has also recently signed an agreement with Rhino Lighting, which will see the roll out of technology-based power-saving solutions and products to companies based in the Eastern Cape Province, with the aim of significantly reducing electricity bills.
