Case Study: Irish Naval Service (Haulbowline Naval Base) achieves 30% electricity savings and outage prevention with ResourceKraft

Irish Naval Service - Customer Case Study

The Irish Naval Service faced rapidly rising electricity costs and a risk of overloaded substations at Haulbowline Naval Base, with bills exceeding €500,000 in 2007 and consumption forecast to rise 20% in 2008. ResourceKraft was engaged to provide metering and monitoring solutions to give real-time visibility of large sub circuits and support load management.

ResourceKraft installed metering systems on 10 three-phase sub circuits and two 1,000 A main incomers across two substations in 1.5 days with only 30 minutes of downtime. As a result, the Irish Naval Service gained clear, actionable data (when, where and how electricity was used), discovered that 10% of users consumed roughly 90% of power, implemented load-management to avoid outages, and achieved an estimated 30% reduction in electricity bills as early as 2008—delivered by ResourceKraft.
