Tradition Energy Helps Curator Hotel & Resort Collection Achieve More Than $1.48 Million in Annual Energy Savings

The opportunity

Curator Hotel & Resort Collection sought to reduce portfolio-wide energy costs through strategic procurement and competitive supplier pricing.

An initial review of participating hotel properties identified significant opportunities to reduce energy costs across multiple markets. With properties operating under different utility structures, supplier agreements, and contract expiration dates, the portfolio required a coordinated procurement strategy.

The review also identified several near-term contract renewals requiring immediate attention. Curator and its participating properties needed an experienced energy advisor capable of evaluating market-specific opportunities, expanding supplier competition, and identifying cost savings while supporting long-term budget certainty and sustainability objectives.

Analysis

Tradition Energy conducted a comprehensive review of energy contracts, market conditions, and procurement opportunities across participating hotel properties, developing a coordinated strategy to reduce costs and improve purchasing decisions.

Portfolio-Wide Energy Assessment: Tradition evaluated existing electricity and natural gas supply arrangements, identifying opportunities to improve pricing, address upcoming contract renewals, and evaluate alternative procurement structures across participating properties.

Competitive Supplier Procurement: Leveraging its proprietary Tradition Energy Pricing System (TEPS), Tradition introduced transparent supplier competition to identify more competitive pricing and contract options. This approach helped participating properties capitalize on Tradition’s purchasing scale and nationwide supplier relationships.

Strategic Procurement and Market Intelligence: Tradition developed a proactive procurement strategy that considered regional market conditions, contract timing, budget certainty, and renewable energy alternatives. The approach established a framework for ongoing market monitoring and identifying additional cost-saving opportunities.

The Result:
More Than $1.48 Million in Combined Annual Energy Savings

A More Strategic, Portfolio-Wide Procurement Approach

Beyond the immediate financial benefits, the partnership established a proactive energy procurement strategy designed to identify additional savings opportunities, improve budget predictability, and support sustainability objectives across participating properties. The results demonstrate how independent energy expertise, market intelligence, and transparent supplier competition can help hospitality organizations reduce operating expenses and make smarter energy purchasing decisions.
