The Aberconwy Case Study

ABERCONWY RESORT & SPA

Located in the beautiful Conwy Valley, with the mountains of Snowdonia as the backdrop and the Conwy Morfa Beach just on the doorstep, Aberconwy Resort & Spa has established itself as one of the best Holiday Parks in North Wales

About Aberconwy

Starting as a family-run business in 1993, Aberconwy Resort & Spa offers an exclusive, high-end selection of new and pre-owned holiday homes, supported by first-class facilities on the park including the award-winning ‘Signatures’ Restaurant and the World-class Aberconwy Spa. An essential part of the customer experience is the smooth provision of essential services such as electricity and gas. Aberconwy Resort & Spa has been working closely with Energy Controls in order to ensure that the supply of both utilities is provided through the very latest Smart metering system that both the customer and their holidaymakers can rely on as being accurate and reliable

Energy Controls’ Solutions

The remit was to provide a metering system for electricity & gas supplies that would deliver accurate, automated readings on a scheduled basis. Energy Controls’ solution was to provide a GSM Smart meter with built-in Modem and SIM card that could interconnect with the Gas meter. The Smart meter acts as the main hub and records the electricity & gas readings before transmitting the data on to a web-based server.

“We have had a successful relationship with Energy Controls for many years now so we were confident in their ability to deliver exactly what we wanted. The installation and set-up was smooth and trouble-free and I am delighted with the results!”

Alan Read, General Manager

Implementation & Use

Energy Controls were there to oversee the entire project from start to finish including: installation, set-up and commissioning. Not only is the meter reading data instantly available to the Park Operator but the residents are also able to monitor their usage using the Energy Controls’ online portal.

Return On Investment

Absolutely no capital investment was required from the customer. Instead Energy Controls free issued the entire system, including the installation. A nominal daily service charge is then payable by Standing Order which can be passed on to the consumer, making the whole system completely cost neutral!
