UK hotels and B&Bs overpay an average of 30-50% on energy. Heating empty rooms, hot water constantly running, laundry, kitchens, lifts, AV — it adds up fast. We find what your supplier hasn't. Free health check. No switching obligation.
Hotels have more energy systems than almost any business — heating, hot water, laundry, kitchens, lifts, AV, signage. That complexity is exactly why so much is recoverable. Six things we almost always find auditing a UK hotel.
Empty rooms heated to occupied temperatures all year because the BMS was set up once and never reviewed.
Hot water cylinders running hotter than guests actually use — wasting gas keeping water at storage temperatures nobody needs.
Commercial laundry running outside off-peak hours, when electricity rates can be 30-50% higher than overnight tariffs.
Auto-renewed contracts on "out-of-contract" tariffs — sometimes double the available market rate, often unnoticed for months.
Kitchen extraction pulling expensive heated air outside while the boilers fight to keep public areas warm.
Generic 12-month flat tariffs that ignore the seasonal occupancy swing — paying for empty rooms in October at peak August rates.
Hotels average a 38% reduction on optimised bills through the partner network. Drag the slider to your real monthly spend and see your number.
Pre-set to UK hotel and B&B industry averages.
Typical share of total energy spend for an independent UK hotel or B&B, and the savings we usually find in each area.
Generic "we'll find savings" isn't enough. Here are the four specific things we do for every UK hotel — and the typical reduction we deliver on each.
We monitor wholesale prices and renegotiate before your contract auto-renews — hotels with multiple meters benefit most from sector-aware timing.
25-40% off unit rateGeneric 12-month tariffs ignore your occupancy swings. We structure supply around your real trade — August peak, February trough.
20-35% on shoulder seasonsTwo or more properties? Pooled procurement unlocks significantly better terms than single-site rates. We negotiate across the group.
+10-15% across groupStanding charges quietly rose 40% in 18 months. Hotels have multiple supplies — savings compound across every meter on every site.
15-30% off standing chargesMost hotel energy supplies are commercial. A few have qualifying residential portions. We check on every audit.
Standard 20% VAT applies to most UK hotel and B&B energy supplies, since the building is treated as commercial use rather than residential.
But there are exceptions worth checking: If a meaningful portion of your building is permanent staff accommodation (live-in managers, on-site staff housing, training quarters), that portion may qualify for the reduced 5% VAT rate under HMRC's residential accommodation rules. We assess this on every audit and submit the paperwork if it applies.
Climate Change Levy (CCL) applies in full to commercial hotel supplies. It's a flat per-kWh tax — we can't reduce the rate, but we can reduce the kWh you use through smarter tariffs and tariff timing.
Green tariffs are available across most of the supplier network and increasingly relevant for guest-facing ESG reporting (TripAdvisor sustainability badges, etc.).
Two real hotel and hospitality case studies from the partner network.
A charity-owned hotel was locked into a high-rate fixed contract with nine on-site meters. A "blend and extend" deal restructured the contract — saving £31,000 without breaking the term.
