Energy has a significant impact on your business operations. You want affordable energy and a stable supply as a hotel, restaurant, bar or chain. COMCAM works with you to build a future-oriented energy strategy.
7 energy challenges
Energy for the hospitality sector
Every sector has its specific challenges and requirements in energy consumption. So does the hospitality sector. Do you recognise the following challenges?
- High housing costs
High energy costs cause declining profitability - Staff shortages
Lower turnover rates due to days closed and fewer seats - Uncertainty in energy supply and affordability
Variable contracts and ill-suited energy advice create uncertainty - Postponed taxes due to COVID-19
You must repay these taxes - Procurement becomes more expensive
Inflation and scarcity increase procurement prices - Hospitality visits may decline
Due in part to market uncertainties and inflation - Laws and regulations around sustainability
Making subsidising sustainable development complex
COMCAM offers security.
We will work on an ongoing basis to improve your energy situation. We do this through Energy Portfolio Management. We also offer advice tailored to your hotel, restaurant, bar or hospitality chain.
