What a typical holiday or caravan park uses and pays across the UK, from published benchmarks.
Figures are estimates from published UK benchmarks priced at 25p/kWh electricity, 7p/kWh gas and about £365 a year in standing charges. They are not quotes. See how we estimate.
Holiday parks, static caravan parks and lodge parks that hold a single commercial supply for the whole site and then resell metered electricity to holiday home owners. Around 2,993 parks with 386,677 pitches sit inside the trade association alone, and the wider UK holiday park and campsite sector drives £12.2 billion of visitor spending. Because the park is the reseller, every penny on the site unit rate lands either on the park's margin or on the owners' recharges.
Buying electricity for every static caravan on site and being capped by Ofgem at recharging no more than you paid for it
Amenity blocks heating water and running showers on demand all through the season with nobody watching the meter
A heated indoor pool and its plant room that has to stay warm whether the park is full or half empty
Standing charges across multiple supply points that can rival the actual usage charge on a quiet winter month
Typical equipment loads across hotels and accommodation, with annual kWh and cost bands from published benchmarks.
| Equipment | kWh a year | Cost a year (est.) |
|---|---|---|
| Gas Boilers / Space Heating | 20,000–500,000 kWh | £1,400–£35,000 |
| Central Hot Water Plant | 8,000–250,000 kWh | £560–£17,500 |
| Commercial Laundry (Washers & Dryers) | 5,000–64,000 kWh | £1,250–£16,000 |
| Breakfast & Restaurant Kitchen (Mixed Fuel) | 5,000–90,000 kWh | £900–£16,200 |
| Guest Room Electrics, TVs & Air Conditioning | 5,000–120,000 kWh | £1,250–£30,000 |
| Heated Pool, Spa or Hot Tubs | 15,000–250,000 kWh | £1,900–£31,300 |
Sub meter your amenity blocks, clubhouse and pool separately so you can see which part of the site is really driving the bill
Fit push button timed showers and PIR lighting in the amenity blocks, they are the easiest saving on any park
Keep the pool covered overnight and out of season, an uncovered pool loses most of its heat straight off the surface
Audit every supply point on the site, parks routinely find dormant MPANs still carrying a daily standing charge
Renew early and lock the site rate in before the season starts, parks are the classic case of a contract expiring in the middle of a busy summer with nobody watching
Illustrative example
Around 20 letting rooms with breakfast and a bar
Heating and hot water for the rooms sit alongside a kitchen and a bar that trade every day.
