Energy and utilities management for hotels and hospitality
A hotel draws power at hours the building is not nominally busy. Kitchen extract, laundry, pool and spa plant and function set-up all sit outside the pattern a supplier assumes when pricing from an annual total. We start with the half-hourly electricity data and set the overnight base load out site by site, so the shape being priced is the shape the meters recorded.
Ownership in hospitality moves. Franchise, managed and leased arrangements, and a change of operator, leave supply contracts sitting under more than one name. We build one register of meters, supply numbers, capacities and contract end dates before going to market, then check each invoice against the signed rate.
Group and brand reporting asks for consumption and emissions by site to a fixed timetable. We keep those figures in a form a brand auditor can check, with the source of each number stated.
What we are usually handed
Load that never flattens
Kitchen extract, pool and spa plant and laundry run outside the hours the building is nominally busy. Where the meters produce half-hourly data we set out what runs overnight and what stops.
Where we fitWe read the half-hourly data and set out what the overnight base load is costing before any contract is priced.
Contracts held in several places
Franchise agreements, managed and leased sites and a change of operator often leave supply contracts sitting under different names. We build one register of meters, supply numbers and end dates before we go to market.
Where we fitWe build the register of supplies and end dates, so the group is negotiating from one list rather than several.
Brand standards and reporting
Group and brand reporting asks for consumption and emissions by site on a fixed timetable. We keep the figures in a form that can be handed to a brand auditor with the source stated.
Where we fitWe keep consumption and emissions figures in a form a brand auditor can check, with the source stated.
What we do about it
Read half-hourly electricity data and set out the overnight base load site by site.
Build a single register of every supply, capacity and contract end date across the group.
Tender electricity, gas and water together where the end dates allow it.
Check invoices against the signed rates each month and query what does not reconcile.

What happens next
If you send us the details below, we run a short suitability check before anything is agreed.
Send the basics
Tell us the sector, the number of sites and what prompted the enquiry. Contract end dates and supply numbers help, but you do not need the full picture to start.
We check it sits within our scope
We confirm whether the work matches what we do and whether we have capacity to take it on properly. If it does not, we say so.
You receive a written brief
If it is suitable, we set out the work, the fee basis and the next steps in writing before any contract is signed.
You sign; we hold the supplier to account
Every supply contract stays in your name. We operate under a Level 1 Letter of Authority only, which means we cannot sign contracts on your behalf.
Questions we are asked here
Yes, where the meter produces half-hourly data. We read the data first, set out what runs overnight and what stops, and put that shape in front of suppliers rather than a single annual figure.
Where the contracting entity and the end dates allow it. We record who holds each contract first, then tender the supplies that can lawfully be grouped and keep the rest on their own timetable.
Either by a margin applied to the final unit rate or by a fixed management fee. Whichever applies is agreed in writing before any contract is signed, and you sign every contract yourself.
