Your Hotel Runs Around the Clock. Your Bill Doesn’t Say When.
Guest rooms, kitchens, conference spaces, and an industrial laundry all draw power at different hours — but the utility bill arrives as one monthly number. Under Uganda’s time-of-day tariff, the hour a load runs decides what it costs. Metering makes that visible — and actionable.
Why a Hotel’s Power Cost Stays Hidden
One monthly number, no breakdown
The bill is a single total. The operations behind it — rooms, kitchens, banqueting, laundry — are invisible, so any attempt to reduce it is an educated guess.
No view of which loads, or which hours
Without sub-metering it is impossible to know which specific operations drive cost, or during which hours — the two facts you need before you can change anything.
Round-the-clock loads meet peak tariffs
An industrial laundry and kitchens run all day. Uganda’s commercial tariff charges the most during peak hours, so a heavy load left on peak adds to the bill every single day.
What the System Reveals for Hotels
We instrument the property, measure it in real time, analyse the pattern, and advise on what to change — in cost terms management can act on.
Metering on the loads that matter
Dedicated meters on laundry feeds, kitchen systems, HVAC, and common-area loads, so each major operation’s consumption is captured on its own — not buried in a single total.
Consumption broken down by tariff period
A dashboard that splits usage into off-peak, shoulder, and peak periods, so you can see how much of each load lands in the most expensive hours of the day.
The habits behind the cost, made visible
Analysis that traces the bill to specific operating patterns — such as a large, flexible load running at the wrong time of day for reasons of legacy routine rather than active decision.
Advice tied to a UGX outcome
A clear recommendation on what to shift and when — often achievable through scheduling alone, with no equipment change and no capital cost, so the saving shows up on the next bill.

Laundry load-shifting — Sheraton Kampala
Sub-metering by tariff period traced a major share of the hotel’s cost to running its industrial laundry during peak hours. Rescheduling the laundry to off-peak hours saves UGX 36 million a year — at no capital cost.

The same method that made the Sheraton Kampala saving visible, applied to your hotel.
01
Assess the property
We survey your electrical infrastructure and identify the key points to meter — laundry feeds, kitchens, HVAC, and common-area loads.
02
Meter the key loads
Smart meters are installed on those feeds so each major operation is captured on its own, in real time.
03
Read by tariff period
Data appears on the dashboard broken down by off-peak, shoulder, and peak hours, showing exactly where the cost falls.
04
Advise and act
We identify flexible loads running at the wrong time and recommend the schedule change — often no capital cost, with the saving realised immediately.
