Oct 2011 - Green Plug mentioned in Parliament again...

Green Plug in ParliamentLogicor and the Green Plug featured in a recent debate in the House of Commons on Environmental Protection and Green Growth.

Mary Creagh said:
"I could not agree more with my hon. Friend.
I must tell the hon. Member for East Antrim (Sammy Wilson) that a green company in my constituency, Logicor, manufactures a product called a Green Plug, and has business angel backing to roll it out nationally and internationally. The plug fits to an iron or other appliance, and automatically turns it off after 15 or 20 minutes if someone leaves the room and forgets to do so. It has been shown that that can reduce carbon emissions in the home by about 50%. The company's research demonstrated that what we all fail to switch off most often is our computer printer. I share that with the House and the nation for those who wish do their bit on climate change."

 

Sep 2011 - Green Plug nominated for 'Made By Britain' Project...

Green Plug Made By BritainMary Creagh, Labour Member of Parliament for Wakefield and Shadow Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has nominated Green Plug for the 'Made By Britain" project to illustrate the quality of UK manufacturing in her constituency.

The project was launched on 6th July by Vince Cable, who said:

"British industry remains among the very best for the quality and originality of what it makes. We export our goods to every corner of the world, from famous international brands to products which, while less well known, make a real difference to the lives of millions. With the Olympics bringing so much attention to Britain this is a fantastic opportunity to show the rest of the world that we make world-beating products."

 

Jun 2011 - Energy Saving Winner...

Energy Saving Winner Logicor recently ran a mini trial to see if consumers were given the choice of Green Plugs for their homes totally free of charge how many they would have and what effect that would have on their electricity consumption.

The person who received the best energy saving results achieved 51% energy savings during the trial. He is seen here pictured receiving his winning cheque for £354.80.

The Results of the trial can be seen here:

Total percentage saving on the whole trial = 33.50%
Average household saving = 38.33%
Best saving achieved = 51%

It is clear that if Green Plugs were deployed to more homes and on more appliances then greater energy savings could be achieved. When you consider that all the Green Plug does is it turns electric appliances off that you accidentally leave on and unattended the energy saving is substantial.

The trial reinforces Logicor's belief that the quickest way to achieve the highest energy saving in today's households is to simply turn off appliances, and the Green Plug is a great way to take care of that process without having to think about it.
