Transforming Heritage GB at Snowdon Mountain Railway

Nestled within the pristine landscapes of Snowdonia National Park, the Snowdon Mountain Railway (SMR) is a renowned tourist attraction in Gwynedd, north-west Wales. This narrow gauge rack and pinion mountain railway spans 4.7 miles, carrying visitors from Llanberis to the summit of Snowdon, the highest peak in Wales. Behind the scenes, the SMR faced a common yet unnoticed problem - voltage instability. To address this issue and unlock substantial benefits, they turned to voltage optimisation.

 

Heritage GB recognised the pressing need for voltage optimisation at one of their prized heritage sites. They chose Smartech Elec due to their expertise and commitment to delivering outstanding results. Smartech Elec, in partnership with EnergyAce, was a natural choice, as their technology is second to none in efficiently managing voltage fluctuations. Together, they ensured the preservation of the site's historical significance while reducing energy consumption and operational costs, making it a sustainable and economically sound decision for the long term.
