From single stores to national chains, energy is a controllable expense. We help retailers cut costs across all locations while protecting brand standards and customer comfort.
Understanding your retail energy footprint is the first step toward savings
50,000 - 500,000 kWh per store annually, varying with size, operating hours, and refrigeration.
20 kW - 200 kW per location, with demand charges often 30-50% of retail commercial electric bills.
Extended hours with seasonal variations. Many retailers run 12-16 hours daily; convenience stores run 24 hours.
HVAC (40-50%), lighting (20-30%), refrigeration (15-25%), and exterior signage drive most consumption.
Brand consistency, franchise ownership, and landlord constraints require flexible procurement strategies.
Challenges retail operators face managing energy across their portfolio
Managing contracts for dozens or hundreds of sites creates administrative burden and inconsistent pricing.
Different rate structures, utilities, and regulations in every market make standardization nearly impossible.
Corporate vs. franchisee ownership complicates procurement and requires flexible contracting.
NNN vs. gross leases limit control over utility accounts and complicate energy procurement.
Holiday and summer months create dramatic usage swings that complicate budgeting and contracts.
Grocery and convenience stores face constant refrigeration loads needing specialized rates and demand management.
