Sample monthly report
This is what one venue gets each month: its own numbers, compared with its own previous year, and the next small step. Shown here with figures from an anonymised client, “Hotel A”.
Monthly energy report — Hotel A
Mid-size city-centre hotel · Electricity · Period to September 2026
1. Year by month: kWh against last year
Each month side by side with the same month a year earlier, so you see where the savings came from, not just the total.
| Measure | Previous year | This year | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 months to September | 607,420 kWh | 550,858 kWh | −9.3% |
| Typical summer month | ~36,500 kWh | ~29,300 kWh | about −20% |
| Jan – Sep | ~41,212 kWh saved (~£8,613 at £0.209/kWh) | −9.7% | |
| Best month | July | −21% | |
2. Maximum demand (kVA) by month
The highest half hour in each month. For Hotel A, summer peaks dropped from about 85 kVA to about 67 kVA. A lower peak means less plant starting at once, and it can support a lower agreed capacity at contract time.
3. 30-minute heat map
Days down the side, the 48 half-hours across the top, darker squares for higher use. In one glance you see overnight base load, what time the kitchen and laundry fire up, weekend patterns, and plant left on after service. It’s the quickest way to spot what to switch off and when.
4. Your next small steps
- Check the overnight base load on the heat map: what is running at 3am that doesn’t need to be?
- Stagger start-up of kitchen extraction, laundry and plant to trim the morning peak.
- Set time clocks and BMS schedules to match actual trading hours, then recheck next month.
- One change at a time, so next month’s report shows what each one was worth.
5. Local grants for this postcode
Different councils do different things. We match your venue’s postcode to its council and list what’s open. Example pattern for a Sheffield site: Sheffield Local Growth Fund Low Carbon Project (free energy survey and part-funded efficiency or solar for SME premises). Your report lists the equivalent for your area, plus national pots that fit. Detailed postcode grant links are part of Premium.
6. Ways to earn
- EV charging for guests and staff. National Workplace Charging Scheme support may help with installation.
- Solar sized to your daytime load, with surplus paid for under the Smart Export Guarantee.
- Only suggested where your own load profile, roof and car park make it worthwhile.
Every venue is different and results aren’t guaranteed. Premium adds local grant links for your postcode, a fuller dashboard, Green Tourism readiness evidence and local awards support for this site.
