40% Average Energy Reduction

100,000+ Computers Managed

200+ Enterprise Features

Your budgets are shrinking. But carbon targets aren’t.

Every council has the same pressure. Do more with less. Hit Net Zero targets. Report on everything.

Right now, hundreds of your PCs sit idle overnight, draining energy you can’t afford to waste. That’s money gone from budgets your taxpayers expect the best value from. It’s avoidable carbon waste your Climate Action Plan can’t ignore. And without clear data you can’t find the source of the problem, or fix it.

Acquaintia gives you automated power management across your entire estate. You set the policies. Our solution gives you the data to enforce them. Every saving and reduction is tracked, reported and ready for audit.
