Absolute consumption is a function of size. The normalised columns are what make sites comparable — and they are the basis any site manager will challenge first.
| Site | Format | Energy | Cost | kWh/m² | kWh/cover |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Covent Garden | flagship | 728,678 | £117,120 | 1175 | 3.34 |
| Head Office | head office | 406,119 | £64,623 | 451 | — |
| Borough Market | cafe restaurant | 349,184 | £49,190 | 1184 | 2.92 |
| Shoreditch High Street | cafe restaurant | 317,612 | £44,835 | 1199 | 2.98 |
| Brighton Lanes | cafe restaurant | 279,624 | £39,561 | 1165 | 3.07 |
Ranked by severity, then by annual cost. Every figure links to the data behind it.
8% of consumption falls in off-peak hours, but the site is on Half-hourly pass-through. Re-pricing the same consumption under Fixed single rate would have cost £9,149 less over 2024-04-01 to 2026-03-31.
→ Ask your supplier to quote Fixed single rate at renewal. This compares the same consumption under both contracts; it assumes no change in usage.
Weekend load stays at 60% of a typical weekday. Sites of this type usually fall below 25%.
→ Identify what remains energised at weekends and whether it needs to be.
