Energy savings for businesses in the Canary Islands

Energy weighs heavily on the costs of any business, even more so in intensive sectors like tourism and hospitality, so present in Tenerife. Optimising consumption doesn't just save money: it also improves the business's sustainability.

Energy audit

Before changing anything, it's worth knowing where the energy goes: it identifies where the biggest spend happens.

Lighting

Switching to LED is one of the most cost-effective changes: up to 80% less consumption, and it pays for itself quickly.

Climate control

Keeping it between 24-26 ºC, maintaining the equipment and using programmable thermostats.

Phantom load

Devices left on standby can account for up to 10% of your bill without you noticing.

Electronic equipment

Switch off outside working hours, enable power-saving mode on computers and screens, and choose energy-efficient certification when renewing.

Renewables for the business

Solar self-consumption panels are, by far, the most cost-effective investment in the Canary Islands thanks to the high solar irradiation.

Monitoring

A real-time measurement system tells you whether the measures are actually working.

And the lever almost no one touches: what price you buy at

All of the above helps you consume less. But there's a second lever that usually moves more money, and most businesses ignore it: the price you pay for each kWh.

The electricity your business will consume in the coming years is being priced today, and that price moves daily. If you renew your contract simply because it's due, you're buying on a date chosen at random. By analysing the forward market and closing in tranches when it makes sense, you can cut costs far more than by switching off appliances.

We explain this in detail on the forward energy purchasing for businesses page.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I start if I want to cut my business's energy spend?

With the contract, not the equipment. Adjusting the power and tariff pays off from the very next bill and requires no investment. Changing lighting or climate control comes later, once you know where the energy is actually going.

How much can you actually save?

It depends on the starting point, and be wary of anyone who gives you a percentage without having seen your bills. What we can tell you is where your margin lies after the assessment, which is free.

Is an audit worth it for a small business?

For a small premises, a full audit usually isn't necessary: reviewing the bill, the contracted power and the main equipment covers most of the margin. An in-depth audit makes sense when there are processes, industrial refrigeration or several floors involved.
