💡 What 10,000 Stays Taught Us About Energy Use in Holiday Parks

The new Metpow report reveals how smart metering can save your park £50,000+ a year

We’ve crunched the numbers and the results are in.

After analysing over 10,000 metered stays across UK caravan, holiday, and touring parks, the data paints a clear picture: smart metering doesn’t just reduce energy waste. It delivers real commercial value.

🧠 Key Findings:

  • Guests use 30% less energy on average when metered vs flat-rate

  • The average saving per stay was £4.12

  • A typical 75-pitch park could save £56,436.98 annually

  • Long stays and weekend arrivals drive the highest consumption

  • Guests pay only for what they use and that encourages greener habits

💬 As one operator put it:
“We no longer worry about overuse or undercharging, we’ve got full visibility and control.”
