IT Departments can help the environment with a number of energy saving devices. Hardware such as notebooks, servers and workstations are now produced that comply with the Energy Star guideline levels of low power consumption.

Consolidation of existing systems can also help reduce energy costs and optimise your infrastructure. This can be achieved by:

Eliminating underutilised or redundant equipment

Using Virtualisation technology

What is virtualisation?
Virtualisation makes it possible to run multiple operating systems and multiple applications on the same computer at the same time, increasing the utilisation and flexibility of hardware. For more information Contact Us.

Accelerated Capital Allowance
The government have introduced the Accelerated Capital Allowance tax incentive scheme to encourage companies to invest in energy efficient machinery and technology.

Did you know that the ACA lets you cut your company's taxable income by 100% of the capital cost of eligible energy-efficient equipment in the first year of purchase? This compares to just 12.5% for ineligible plant and machinery.

From the Sustainable Energy Ireland website “if your company spends €10,000 on eligible equipment and you pay 12.5% corporation tax, you will save €1,250 on your tax bill that year, compared to just €156.25 for an ineligible product of the same value”.
