Electricity is a central operating cost for shops and retail businesses. Lighting, cooling, heating, point-of-sale systems, and digital signage are operational for large parts of the day – often while competition is fierce and margins are tight.

Shops often have a clear consumption profile with high electricity use during opening hours and lower load at other times. Small differences in price, surcharges, or terms can have a large effect on profitability.
