Extreme Low Energy has identified energy and carbon savings that can be made by eliminating the wasteful AC/DC power conversion used by devices such as computers.

Liverpool city region energy technology firm Extreme Low Energy (ELe) has relocated its headquarter from Formby to Skelmersdale.

The award-winning business has taken up residence in a 1,600 sq ft unit at the Gillibrands Industrial Estate.

It is making the move having outgrown its previous premises following tho establishment of a network of resellers and its growth into overseas markets.

ELe is the brainchild of Mark Buchanan who identified energy and carbon savings that can be made by eliminating the wasteful AC/DC power conversion used by devices such as computers.

He has created a system which can deliver direct current electricity to an entire office building, removing the inefficient conversion from alternating current.

Mark said: “Having established the business in 2014, the success and swift growth of the company has seen the need for us to move into suitable new premises.

“The new building is significantly larger than our previous headquarters in Formby and gives us greater office and warehousing space, combining to improve the efficiency of the business.

“We plan to further build our team and client base throughout the UK and abroad.”

Recent ELe projects include working with Ambit Technology in South Africa to create and install a solar-powered classroom at Tlamatlama Primary School and fitting a solar-powered PC in St Elizabeth’s primary school in Litherland, near Liverpool.
