Why hotels are a strong fit for solar PPAs

UK hotels typically have electricity bills representing 4-8% of total operating costs — second-largest line after staff. Solar PPAs cut this materially without requiring capital investment competing with refurbishment, new openings, or technology upgrades.

Hospitality consumption profiles align particularly well with solar generation: daytime kitchen prep, HVAC for guest comfort, laundry operations, and evening food service. Many properties achieve 60-80% self-consumption of solar generation, maximising the PPA economics.
