Customer Testimonial: The Round O Navan on Working With Utilityfair

"As a busy bar and restaurant, keeping our energy costs under control is an important part of running the business. We worked with Andrew at Utilityfair to review our electricity and gas usage and the rates we were paying.

Andrew compared pricing from all suppliers for both our electricity and gas and took us through the different options available. This gave us a clear understanding of what we were paying compared with the market and the potential savings from switching.

We decided to switch suppliers for both electricity and gas, with our electricity moving onto a wholesale tracker contract. The new contracts will reduce our annual energy costs by €14,507, an 18% saving. Utilityfair also handled the switching process and aligned our electricity and gas contract end dates, which will make managing our next renewal much easier."

The Challenge: Reducing Commercial Energy Costs in Hospitality

The Round O uses more than 153,000 kWh of electricity and 303,000 kWh of gas each year across its bar, restaurant and kitchen operations.

When the business contacted Utilityfair, its existing electricity and gas rates were above the rates available in the market, creating an opportunity to reduce its annual energy costs.

The Round O wanted to compare pricing across all suppliers and determine whether switching its electricity and gas contracts could deliver meaningful savings. The business also wanted to bring the contract end dates together so that both fuels could be reviewed at the same time in future.
