Advertisement feature from Europa

Europa, one of the UK’s leading distributors of electrical components, with over 50 years of experience in designing, assembling, and distributing electro-mechanical solutions, has launched a game-changing innovation in energy management: Europa PLUS. 

This cutting-edge smart utility monitoring and control system has been designed to meet the growing demand for efficient, flexible, and secure energy management solutions. Whether you're running a business, managing a facility, or simply looking to improve sustainability and reduce energy costs, Europa PLUS provides an easy and effective way to take control of your utility usage.

Europa PLUS is a fully integrated smart solution that gives users instant access to electricity, gas, and water consumption data in real-time. Designed with ease and practicality in mind, it can be seamlessly retrofitted into existing equipment, making it suitable for both new and older installations.

With energy prices and environmental considerations at the forefront of every business’s thinking, there is a greater need than ever to reduce consumption and increase efficiency. Europa PLUS meets these challenges head-on by offering:

• Real-time monitoring of electricity, gas, and water
• Significant operational cost savings
• Improved efficiency and performance
• Custom dashboards
• Opportunities to monetise utility insights

For the rail industry, this means:

• Sub-metering to allow for accurate billing of concessions
• Monitoring and off-site control of lighting, including photocells, as well as energy metering
• Remote monitoring and energy use of compressors

All of this is shown on a single dashboard, drilling down to all the data on a site by site basis.

Europa PLUS has already been successfully implemented into a number of railway stations in the UK, monitoring lighting and electricity usage. When analysed, the data will determine where there is wastage and actions can be put in place to make real energy savings. Europa PLUS is also being used to ensure that lighting circuits are disconnected by sensing light levels and can be remotely switched if there is no human traffic.

Incorporating PLUS technology into Europa’s existing product range allows industrial-strength pre-integration across a range of applications, from low voltage domestic and commercial distribution to site power solutions, and from surge protection to bespoke control units. All integration is handled at Europa’s facility in Luton by a skilled in-house team, ensuring quick turnarounds, local stock availability, and reliable delivery.

The three utility meters connect to the cloud for increased flexibility and performance. Meter readings and corresponding usage costs are displayed on the Utility Hub web app, which can be accessed via the browser on mobile devices and computers. Users can be set up with different roles (finance, admin, maintenance, owners) to see just the data they need.

Europa isn’t just about products - it’s about partnership. Expert technical teams are available to support every step of a project, from product selection to installation and ongoing use. The Bespoke Build Service offers tailored solutions, even in urgent situations.

You can get in touch directly with the team by phone or email, and even send through diagrams or specifications for fast and accurate help.
