Hoteling is energy intensive. Comfort for guests depends on heating, cooling, hot water, and lighting being provided 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. When you add conference spaces, kitchens, pools, laundries, and spas to that list, it's not surprising that hotels see utilities among the largest cost centers in the hospitality sector.
At E for Energy, we help hotels take back control. We do this through smarter procurement, independent audits, and new monitoring technologies to ensure you are not overpaying for electricity, gas, or water. Our smart recommendations reduce costs without compromising the guest experience, while enabling improved performance toward your goals of sustainability.

Hotel Energy & Water Assessments
Our initial stage involves a detailed assessment of your property. This entails looking at historic use and tariffs and checking your infrastructure. We will look for inefficiencies in your hotel that you may not have noticed, such as:
Heating or cooling systems operating unnecessarily overnight
Leaks or excessive water usage in guestrooms, kitchens, or laundries
Old lighting or controls
Mismatched contract tariff based on your real usage
At the conclusion of the assessments, we will provide you with a straightforward action plan that includes priced recommendations. Many of the projects are quick wins that don’t involve time disruptive capital projects and will return savings quickly.
Discover the Most Suitable Energy and Water Contracts
Your energy and water bills are not simply based on your usage; they rely significantly on the contract you're on. Too many hotels remain stuck in old and uncompetitive contracts. We benchmark hundreds of suppliers across the UK to ensure you receive:
The lowest cost per unit available
Flexible terms to accommodate your hotel seasonality
Clear contracts without hidden penalties or rollover provisions
If there is a group of hotels or multi-site operations, we can consolidate the contracts for better buying power as well as ease of handling and management.
Hotel Energy Audits & Usage Reviews
Cost savings do not end when the contract is signed. Regular monitoring is necessary to prevent waste and manage bills.
We offer regular reviews of usage, which will help in:
Spotting abnormal spikes due to leaks, equipment breakdowns, or guest abuse
Identifying opportunities to shift load to cost effective times
Evaluate benchmarks against similar hotels
This information gives you confidence that the decisions you make month after month produce long-term savings.
Management of Carbon & Sustainability
Sustainability is no longer an option for hospitality; it is a competitive advantage. Customers are choosing eco-responsible hotels at an increasing rate, and corporate clients demand properties to be aligned with their ESG policies.
We support hotels with:
Carbon reporting and compliance with UK legislation
Plan for net zero targets
Decide on suitable renewable technologies (solar PV systems or heat pumps etc)
Green certifications or benchmarking
Demonstrating your commitment to the environment reduces costs as well as building your brand reputation.
Meter Operator & Infrastructure Contracts
Every hotel's energy system is underpinned by highly technical factors, including meter operator (MOP) contracts, half-hourly data requirements, and infrastructure compliance. These can often be difficult and onerous to administer.
We manage the whole process so your hotel:
Has fully compliant, half-hourly meters for correct billing
Will avoid penalties or surcharges for failing obligations
Will enable temporary or additional meters for events or expansion
Has upgraded infrastructure for any future needs
