Dublin hotelier feels the heat of rising fuel costs as energy bills more than double

Peak-time energy rationing in a full-blown energy crisis would damage business, says Paul Gallagher, general manager of Buswells Hotel'This is going to get a lot worse very quickly,' says Paul Gallagher, general manager at Buswells Hotel in Dublin, of rising electricity and gas prices.

Hoteliers have limited flexibility to find savings in their energy bills because they must have constant hot water available for guests, he said. The hotelier is concerned about possible supply disruptions and energy rationing between the peak hours of 5pm and 7pm, one of the busiest times in a hotel’s day, which would be damaging for business.

She said she knew of a 145-bedroom hotel in Cork whose monthly electricity bill had jumped from €10,000 in July 2019 to €42,000 last July. Another hotel in the north of the country was forecasting a possible increase of €800,000 in his annual energy bill this year, she said.Athlone cafe owner shocked after getting €9,000 electricity bill: ‘Things are only going to get worse’“The increases we are seeing are just very, very worrying.
