Supermarkets and food retailers can have substantial and continuous electricity requirements across refrigeration, lighting, heating, cooling, ventilation, bakeries, food preparation and other store operations. Refrigeration is particularly important because chilled and frozen products must remain within the required temperature range throughout trading and non-trading hours.
Flame Energy can help supermarkets, convenience stores and multisite food retailers manage commercial electricity and gas contracts, meters and consumption, with ongoing support throughout the contract period.
We know that it’s hard to reduce the energy and water consumption within a supermarket. We offer energy and water contracts that align with your sustainability targets. We’ll complete a review of your energy usage, look at opportunities to reduce energy consumption and provide you with the right green, environmentally friendly contracts.
We can support you with the installation of solar panels, as large roofs on supermarkets can provide a great opportunity for placement. This can reduce your carbon footprint and reduce your reliance on the grid. We can organise battery storage to help you store any excess electricity generated.
Due to the high levels of heating needed, we know that gas and electricity prices are a concern for supermarkets. Our team will find the best contracts for you based on the market. Our market analysis will ensure you’re securing supply at the optimal time. We can also look at installing KVA half hourly meters to ensure that you’re not paying for more energy than you’re consuming.
Finding the best energy and water contracts for your business can be time consuming. That’s why, when you sign your contracts with Flame Energy, you’ll be given a dedicated account manager, available via phone, email, and our website, who can take on the process for you. We’ll search the market to find the best contracts to provide supermarket energy management solutions tailored to fit your requirements.
