Our take

There are major efforts across the energy sector to take advantage of digital transformation. Renewables in particular are focusing on revenue-maximisation and income stacking instead of cultivating a dependence on subsidies, both of which require laser-tight monitoring and performance optimisation. For over two decades now Power Factors - formerly Inaccess - has been providing a digital platform for precisely this.

Power Factors’ key product is Unity, a supervisory control and data acquisition system that allows organisations across the renewable, industrial, and infrastructure sectors to monitor and maximise performance in their generation centres. It’s been used in some of the largest global battery storage projects and allows organisations to bring project management across owner, developer, and operator teams into one space.

As market forces are expected to overtake subsidies as the driving force for competition in the renewables sector, it’s expected that more operators will be investing in systems that will generate competitive edge. This is good news for Power Factors, who come to the growing market with extensive experience and deep industry penetration.
