The Challenges
The luxury hotel chain faced several energy-related challenges that impacted its operational costs and environmental footprint:
- High Energy Costs: The company spends approximately ₹3 crore annually on its energy bills, which includes both purchased electricity and power generated from its own diesel generators.
- Generator Fuel Costs: The reliance on diesel generators contributed significantly to the high energy costs.
- High Carbon Footprint: The extensive use of diesel generators resulted in a large carbon footprint, conflicting with the company’s sustainability goals.
