This 420-room San Francisco Bay Area hotel pays one of the highest electricity highest rates in the country, largely due to high peak-period demand charges.
THE OPPORTUNITY
The hotel pays approximately $0.29/kWh, with peak periods accounting for just 9% of electricity usage but 29% of total electricity costs. At 3.2× the average electricity rate, these high-cost periods create a significant opportunity to reduce energy expense.
​
THE SOLUTION
A high-efficiency 250 kW linear generation system supplies approximately 85% of the hotel's electricity, reducing reliance on high-cost utility power while meeting California's stringent emissions requirements.
​
THE RESULTS
Onsite generation reduces the hotel's electricity cost by approximately $0.05/kWh, adding more than $100,000 in first-year operating profit through the PPA—with no upfront capital required from the hotel. Over time, the combination of energy savings and increased asset value could create approximately $11 million in total value.
Stronger profits. A more valuable, sustainable asset—all without hotel capital.

This 370-room full-service branded hotel in the New York metropolitan area is in receivership, with an RGI of just 82.7. Its turnaround plan includes reducing operating costs without compromising service.
​
THE OPPORTUNITY
The hotel spends approximately $794,000 annually on energy, creating a significant opportunity to reduce operating costs. Its location in the Northeast also creates an especially compelling case for cogeneration, where substantial heating and hot-water demand can make recovered heat highly valuable.
​
THE SOLUTION
A 400 kW CHP system supplies approximately 85% of the hotel's electricity needs while recovering heat to offset nearly all of its heating requirements. The system also provides greater resilience, maintaining operations during extreme heat events that have caused utility outages and equipment failures across the region.
​
THE RESULTS
A reduction of just $0.025/kWh, combined with approximately $130,000 in annual natural gas savings, is projected to improve hotel operating profit by approximately $225,000 in Year 1. Over 20 years, the project could create approximately $16 million in total value, including the impact on property value at an 8.5% cap rate.

This 470-room suburban Chicago hotel consumes over 4.7 million kilowatt hours annually and has significant space and water heating costs, along with a large, open rear parking lot that is not monetized.
​
THE OPPORTUNITY
The hotel has an opportunity to turn two major cost centers—energy and parking—into sources of savings and new revenue. Onsite generation can reduce its more than $640,000 annual energy expense, while an underutilized portion of the parking facility can be transformed into paid, covered premium parking.
​
THE SOLUTION
A 530 kW Combined Heat & Power (CHP) system, with built-in redundancy and resilience, combined with a 250 kW solar carport covering 125 parking spaces, replaces 100% of the hotel's electricity and heating requirements while creating a new premium parking revenue opportunity.
​
THE RESULTS
Onsite electricity and recovered heat are projected to reduce total annual energy costs to approximately $400,000, including $77,000 in natural gas costs. Meanwhile, premium parking is projected to generate approximately $320,000 in annual revenue, assuming a 50% share between the hotel and Inntelect. Put together, this results in a 20-Year NPV of $24.8 million —all without hotel capital.
​
More savings. More revenue. Zero hotel capital.
