Lower energy bills for cafes, restaurants and hospitality venues
Power and gas are some of the few costs you can cut without touching the menu. Most venues start with a bill review, which costs nothing if we can't find a saving, and then look at solar or a battery if the site suits it.
- No saving, no fee on bill reviews
- Power and gas, both checked

A busy kitchen runs fridges, cool rooms, dishwashers, ovens, coffee machines, exhaust fans and air conditioning, often from 6am to late at night. Most of the saving for a cafe or restaurant comes from the contract, not new equipment: being on the right rate for how and when you trade, and being moved when a retailer puts prices up. Solar and batteries can add to that, but only when the roof, the lease and the trading hours line up.
Why hospitality bills creep up
- Contracts that roll overWhen a contract ends, many venues roll onto a higher rate and nobody notices until the bills have climbed for months.
- Gas is easy to forgetKitchens use a lot of gas, and gas contracts get even less attention than power.
- Dinner trade, daytime solarRestaurants that trade mostly at night use less of their solar. Cafes that trade by day suit it better.
- Leased premisesSolar on a leased roof needs the landlord on board, and the lease needs to be long enough to pay it back.

Common questions
What does a bill review cost?
Nothing if we don't find a saving. If we do, our fee is 20% of the first-year saving, which includes 12 months of bill management.
Do you check gas too?
Yes. Kitchens often spend as much on gas as on power, and gas contracts get even less attention. We review both.
Is solar worth it for a restaurant?
It depends on when you trade and whether you own the roof or have a long lease. A cafe trading by day usually suits solar better than a restaurant trading at night. We'll tell you either way.
We lease our premises. Can we still save?
Yes. The contract is usually in your name, so a bill review works whether you own or lease. Solar needs the landlord's OK.
Do you work with pubs and clubs?
Yes. Larger venues often have bigger savings, and they can also look at solar, batteries and energy audits.
