Across the UK’s logistics and transport sector, from Yorkshire distribution depots to national haulage fleets, energy costs are becoming an invisible drain on profitability. Rising wholesale prices, expanding depot lighting loads, and the electrification of vehicle fleets all push overheads higher. Yet many operators don’t realise how much is lost to poor procurement, complex metering, and outdated energy contracts.

Across Yorkshire’s hotel and leisure sector, energy costs have quietly become one of the most unpredictable overheads. Rising tariffs, higher standing charges, and greater seasonal demand all weigh heavily on operating budgets, particularly for venues with kitchens, heating, and 24/7 guest services.

As the National Farmers’ Union recently warned, rising energy bills and higher standing charges are placing intense pressure on farming businesses, especially operations that draw power seasonally (such as grain drying, refrigeration or processing) yet still pay standing charges year-round.

As daylight hours shrink and energy prices begin to bite again, many Yorkshire manufacturers are eyeing the wave of regional low-carbon grants. Yet one common stumbling block derails many applications: without a professionally designed lighting audit and quantified energy plan, funding assessors often reject LED upgrade proposals before they’re even considered.
