Insight of the Week: The Complete Guide to Reducing Energy Costs in Garden Centres
Garden centres are one of the most energy intensive businesses in the UK. Between heating greenhouses, lighting large retail spaces, running irrigation systems, cafés, and seasonal displays, energy costs in garden centres can quickly escalate and having a structured energy management plan for both procurement and ongoing management is a necessity.
With wholesale energy prices continuing to remain volatile, rising third party charges, reducing and managing your garden centre utility bills is essential for protecting your profit margins.
This complete guide explains how UK garden centres can reduce energy consumption, secure better commercial energy contracts, and implement long-term energy management strategies that could lower costs year after year.
