Unique Energy Challenges Facing Auto Dealership Groups

Showroom & Lot Lighting

Extended hours of operation with high-intensity lighting systems for vehicle displays and security, often running 14-16 hours daily across multiple acres.

Service Bay Operations

Power-intensive equipment, compressed air systems, and specialized ventilation requirements generating significant energy demands throughout service hours.

Multi-State Compliance

Navigating complex energy regulations, utility structures, and contract requirements across different states and utility territories.

Dealership groups face the additional challenge of maintaining consistent brand standards while meeting corporate sustainability goals—all without a centralized energy management system to track performance across locations.

The High Cost of Fragmented Energy Management

For multi-location dealership groups, decentralized energy procurement and management creates significant operational inefficiencies. Most groups are unknowingly paying premium rates while their staff struggles with:

  • Managing dozens of separate utility accounts and vendor relationships
  • Reconciling inconsistent billing cycles and rate structures
  • Lack of visibility into group-wide energy performance metrics
  • Missed opportunities for bulk purchasing power
  • Difficulty implementing consistent sustainability initiatives

Without a coordinated approach, even well-run dealership groups typically overspend by 20% -35% on their energy costs while dealing with unnecessary administrative burdens.
