A high usage business is one that operates equipment or systems with large electrical loads. This includes cold storage, manufacturing, food processing, machinery-heavy workshops, large HVAC systems and multi-site commercial operations.
Bills increase when multiple high-load appliances or systems run at the same time. This creates spikes in demand that lead to higher tariffs, even if overall consumption stays consistent. HVAC, refrigeration and machinery are common contributors.
SMEs can reduce costs by comparing plans regularly, staggering equipment operation, upgrading to efficient machinery, reviewing tariffs and using energy insights to identify periods of high demand.
Large operators use significant energy for refrigeration, HVAC systems, machinery, processing equipment and lighting across multiple buildings or sites. Running these systems simultaneously increases both consumption and peak charges.
They can align contract end dates, benchmark usage by site, review tariffs, monitor equipment schedules, install sub-metering and identify peak consumption periods. These insights help reduce long-term operating costs and improve load management.
