Electricity

Know where your power is going

Meters on the phase wiring and per circuit, read without anyone needing to open the box. You see the total AND where it comes from.

Payment based on usage, per site

Our kWh meters are connected to our own network and are in the same dashboard as the rest. You can see the consumption per site and whether there is any feed-in. Single-phase or three-phase, depending on what the site requires.

In the dashboard, you choose how the guest pays: a fixed rate per night, a rate per kWh, or an average per day that is settled afterwards. Those who use more pay extra, those who use less get a refund.

This eliminates the discussion about surcharges. There is a clear benchmark.

The guest sees their own usage

Guests can track their own meter readings on their phone. No login that you need to distribute, no note at the reception.

Those who see their usage behave differently. The air conditioning turns off when no one is in the chalet, the heater is set a degree lower. This saves energy without you needing to address anyone.

And if there is a dispute about the final bill, you can point to the same screen that the guest has had all week.

What goes wrong

One number per month is not insight

The main meter tells you that it was expensive. Not which group, which building, or which hour.

You don't know which building is consuming

Sanitary, reception, pool technology, and kitchen are combined into one amount. Those who need to cut back start guessing.

Peaks that determine your connection

Your rate depends on your peak capacity, and that peak often lasts fifteen minutes. Without measurement, you don't know when it occurs.

Phantom consumption that never stops

Equipment that runs in the off-season costs all year round — and disappears completely in an annual bill.

The main meter tells you too little

One meter at the connection gives you one number per month. That number says it was expensive. It doesn't say which group, which building, or which hour.

We measure per phase and per group. This way, you see the sanitary building separately from the reception, the swimming pool technology separately from the kitchen, and the camping spaces separately from everything else.

What is visible can be recharged or switched off. That is the point where measuring starts to generate revenue instead of costs.

What it generates

What changes once you measure per group

Measuring is not a goal. It is the prerequisite for every subsequent measure.

Cutting back in the right place

You see which group stands out, so you start where the money is instead of where it stands out.

Peaks that you can spread

If you know when the peak occurs, you can shift consumption — and that saves on your capacity rate.

Charging for what a guest uses

What is measured per site or per accommodation can be charged.

Justification for expansion

Additional charging stations or heat pumps? Then you know with numbers whether your connection can handle it.

Even the heavy loads are monitored

The camping pitches are only half the story. Pool technology, charging stations, heat pumps, and the kitchen often consume more than the entire field collectively.

We measure up to 1000 amps, so large connections can also be included. This not only shows how much is being used but also when — and the latter determines whether your connection can handle it.

With that data, you can make adjustments. Set the charging stations differently, run pumps outside peak times, warm up the sanitary building later. Without the hours, any modification is a gamble.

Even the heavy loads are monitored
Eighty percent of our energy still comes from oil, coal, and gas.

The transition takes time, and in the meantime, electricity is getting more expensive and scarcer. Those who know where it's heading can choose what to tackle first.
