Atmosphere shouldn’t cost the earth
Lighting, music, heating and a busy kitchen all help your customers feel at home, but they add up fast. Around 93% of hospitality firms say energy bills are eating into profit, and a large hotel can burn through 7,500 kWh in a single day. The right contract, matched to how and when you trade, keeps those costs in check.

Why hospitality energy is different
Long hours, hot kitchens and a need to keep customers comfortable make hospitality one of the most energy-hungry sectors around.
Late & long hours
Evening and weekend trading, plus overnight running in hotels, means a lot of energy is used when standard tariffs are least kind.
Kitchens & refrigeration
Ovens, fryers, dishwashers and walk-in fridges run hard through service, making catering one of the heaviest energy users.
Comfort & atmosphere
Heating, cooling, hot water and lighting all set the mood for guests, and they’re on whether you’re full or quiet.
Seasonal swings
Summer terraces, winter heating and holiday peaks mean usage rises and falls, so contract timing really matters.
Where we cut your hospitality energy costs
A lot of waste in hospitality happens overnight, when the building is closed but still drawing power. One government trial cut overnight use by up to 66%, saving venues around £2,500 a year. We tackle both your tariff and that hidden waste.

Hospitality & leisure energy, answered
How much energy does a hotel or restaurant use?
It varies hugely by size, but a large hotel can use as much as 7,500 kWh in a single day. Across the sector, energy makes up roughly 4 to 6% of a hospitality business’s running costs, and the UK industry spends an estimated £1.3 billion a year on energy.
Can my venue get cheaper night or weekend power?
Often, yes. If you trade late or overnight, an Economy 7 or Economy 10 tariff offers cheaper rates at off-peak times, which can suit pubs, nightclubs, hotels and late restaurants. We compare these where they’re available and worth it for your usage pattern.
How can a pub, restaurant or hotel cut energy costs?
Start with the contract, since the wrong tariff or out-of-contract rates are the most common cause of overpaying. Then tackle waste, especially overnight: smart heating and lighting controls, LED bulbs, efficient kitchen appliances and timers all add up. One government trial cut overnight usage by up to 66%.
What’s the best tariff for a seasonal hospitality business?
A fixed-rate contract usually suits hospitality best, locking in your unit rate and standing charge so a busy summer or cold winter doesn’t bring nasty surprises. For very large or variable users, a flexible contract can help you buy when wholesale prices dip. We’ll advise on the right fit.
Can you manage energy across multiple venues?
Yes. Pub groups, restaurant chains and hotel portfolios can consolidate every site onto one supplier, with one bill and one renewal date, even where contracts currently end on different dates. It saves admin and your combined usage can unlock a better rate.
Can hospitality businesses switch to green energy?
Yes, and many do. Most suppliers offer renewable electricity tariffs, now often priced in line with standard ones. A green tariff can support your sustainability goals and is increasingly something guests and customers look for.
Does my venue need a half-hourly meter?
If your site’s peak demand reaches 100kW, a half-hourly (HH) meter is required by law. Larger hotels, busy restaurants and big venues often fall into this band. HH meters give detailed usage data, which our team uses to sharpen your deal.
Will switching interrupt my supply?
No. Switching only changes the company that bills and manages your supply. The cables, pipes and physical supply stay exactly the same, with no interruption, so service to your guests carries on as normal.
How much could my venue save?
It depends on your current rates, contract and usage, but hospitality sites on out-of-contract or default rates are often overpaying. The quickest way to find out is to compare with your postcode or speak to a hospitality specialist.
