TSX-V: LPSConservation Voltage Regulation (CVR) is an energy conservation technique that regulates the incoming voltage to buildings. To compensation for line loss along the power grid, buildings at the beginning of the grid receive voltage at higher levels than others. This leads to energy waste, higher energy bills and unnecessary carbon dioxide emissions. Over $1 billion [...]
