Garden centres can have varied energy requirements across retail areas, greenhouses, cafés, offices, warehouses and outdoor facilities. Heating, lighting, refrigeration and seasonal changes in demand can all affect energy use throughout the year. Flame Energy can help simplify commercial energy procurement and ongoing management, giving your business greater visibility and a central point of contact.
Garden centres may have opportunities to reduce their environmental impact through renewable electricity, commercial solar and EV charging. Where suitable roof space and electricity demand are available, solar can help reduce reliance on grid electricity, while improved consumption visibility can support wider efficiency and sustainability initiatives.
Energy demand can change significantly throughout the year as heating, lighting, refrigeration and customer activity vary with the seasons. We can review your electricity and gas requirements, compare suitable products from suppliers on our panel and help plan procurement and renewals around your business requirements and preferred level of budget certainty.
For garden centre groups operating from several locations, we can also help coordinate different meters, suppliers and contract end dates, reducing the administration involved in managing utilities across the business.

We can help with contracts, suppliers, meters and energy queries throughout the contract period, giving your team one central point of contact. Whether you operate a single garden centre or multiple locations, our approach is designed to reduce the time spent managing utilities while keeping your business informed about its energy arrangements.
