A typical 240-room hotel consumes roughly 1.8 million kWh per year. Locking a 24-month supplier rate vs utility default saves $60,000 to $100,000 annually. Multi-property hotel groups can bundle 5 to 15 properties into a single RFP for an additional 4 to 8 percent rate concession. Brand-mandated supplier requirements (some flags pre-select suppliers) can constrain the choice but rarely prevent meaningful savings.
Per-room kWh benchmarks
A limited-service hotel (Hampton Inn, Holiday Inn Express) uses roughly 6,000 kWh per room per year. A full-service hotel (Marriott, Hilton) uses 8,500 kWh. A resort uses 12,000+.
240 rooms times 7,500 kWh per room (mixed full-service) equals 1.8 million kWh per year. At a typical 11 cents per kWh supply rate, that is $198,000 in supply costs alone.
Lock savings on a 24-month contract
A clean supplier lock at 9.5 cents per kWh vs utility default 11 cents saves 13.6 percent on supply, or $27,000 a year. With 24-month term, total savings $54,000 over the contract.
Multi-property bundles (5 to 15 hotels under one operator) achieve 4 to 8 percent additional rate concession. A 10-property chain saves $80,000 to $120,000 a year vs single-site shopping.
