The challenge

Hotels, resorts and leisure estates carry both high electrical and thermal demand across heating, hot water, kitchens, pools and spas. Energy has become a rising share of operating cost. Sustainability is increasingly visible to guests and corporate bookers, so the answer has to reduce cost and stand up to scrutiny.

How Saber addresses it

The combination of thermal and electrical demand makes hospitality one of the strongest sectors for a blended design. Hydrogen-ready CHP serves the thermal base load while generating electricity; Solar PV and BESS manage peak demand. Recovered heat that would otherwise be lost is captured to reach up to 96% total efficiency, with energy delivered at 20% to 40% below grid tariffs. A typical implementation runs over 6 to 9 months, and figures are indicative, subject to feasibility.

A day on site

What the blend does across a working day.

Site demand met by Hydrogen-ready CHP, Solar PV, BESS, with residual grid import at the shoulders. Every half-hour is metered, recorded and reported.

Illustrative annual energy mix, shown as a share of site demand. Every unit generated on site is supplied at the contracted PPA rate rather than the grid rate, so savings scale with the on-site share. BESS is a routing stage, not a source: battery discharge is generated earlier by Solar PV or Hydrogen-ready CHP. Round-trip efficiency assumed at 88%; the on-site share is stated net of those losses and the generation bars are gross.

Secure Your Hotel and Spa’s Future: Cost Certainty and Sustainability Through Blended Renewables

Spa pools, saunas, kitchens and laundries run around the clock, so hotels carry a thermal base load most buildings never see. This guide sets out how a blended PPA funds, builds and operates the plant with zero capital outlay, and models the savings over the term.
