Retailer - Energy Systems upgrade

Design and replacement of energy monitoring system, refrigeration and lighting for 500 filling stations, reducing energy demand by 25%​

Background

A global fuel retailer sought to undertake a nationwide retrofit programme to reduce energy consumption across 500+ petrol stations. The objective was to lower energy costs and carbon emissions by addressing inefficiencies in metering, refrigeration, and lighting systems.

Solution

After a detailed asset audit, a solution was developed to install energy metering, monitoring, and control systems, targeting reductions in refrigeration energy demand. Additionally, all site lighting was upgraded to LED technology to decrease maintenance and energy expenses. The programme was executed over 12 months with mobile teams and specialist contractors, scheduling work outside business hours to minimise disruptions to the busy retail sites.

Outcomes

The retrofit achieved a more than 25% reduction in energy consumption across the petrol station network. The project was completed on time and within budget, delivering significant cost savings and operational improvements for the client while ensuring minimal commercial impact during implementation.

Please note - this case study is one of several that highlights the collective experience of our team, drawing on projects completed prior to the formation of Beaverbrook Energy.
