Power Factor Correction: A Thrill Ride for Energy Sustainability
[Cincinnati, Ohio – October 30, 2024 ] The Attractions Industry, renowned for thrilling rides and captivating shows are also renowned as significant energy consumers. As these innovative, cutting-edge venues seek to enhance guest experience meanwhile optimizing operational costs, a partnership between the Attractions Group and Energy Efficiency Group of Cincinnati has emerged. This partnership is excited to introduce Power Factor Correction (PFC) as a new solution for energy efficiency in the Attractions Industry.
What is Power Factor Correction?
Power Factor (PF) is a measure of how efficiently your electrical supply is being used after the point of delivery. A low power factor indicates that a significant portion of this electrical power is wasted leading to increased energy consumption, higher billing, and increased equipment maintenance. This new Power Factor Correction capacitor system addresses these issues at the source and also helps drive industry sustainability efforts.
The Benefits of Power Factor Correction for Amusement Parks:
-
- Reduced Energy Costs: By improving power factor, parks and other venues can lower electricity billing, freeing up capital for other essential operations and projects.
- Increased System Capacity: PFC devices can increase the capacity of existing electrical systems, allowing for the addition of new attractions without costly upgrades.
- Improved Power Quality: PFC enhances the electrical power supply quality, leading to more reliable operations and reduced equipment failures.
- Reduced Environmental Impact: Lower energy consumption translates to a smaller carbon footprint, contributes to “net zero” goals, and drives to a more sustainable future.
How Amusement Parks Can Implement PFC:
- Conduct an Energy Audit: Assess current power factor and identify problem areas.
- Install PFC Devices: Usually installed where the system deficiency occurs.
- Monitor and Maintain: Regularly monitor the system to ensure optimal performance and make adjustments when and where necessary.
By embracing power factor correction, attractions venues can not only boost their bottom line but also contribute to a greener and more sustainable future.
The Attractions Group is committed to partnering with the industry to achieve their energy efficiency goals. Our partnership team can provide custom PFC solutions tailored to the unique needs of your park or venue.

Power Factor Correction might not be as thrilling as installing a roller coaster or the latest VR attraction, but it can be a sustainability superhero for theme parks, hotels, waterparks, and zoos.
