How Wild Energy Is Shifting The Campground Industry

How Wild Energy Is Shifting The Campground Industry

Wild Energy, which refers to the use of renewable energy sources in camping facilities, is definitely having an impact on the campground industry in several ways:

  1. Meeting Sustainable Goals: Many campgrounds are embracing Wild Energy as a way to meet their sustainability goals. By using renewable energy sources, they can significantly reduce their carbon footprint and operate in a more environmentally friendly manner.

  2. Cost Savings: While initial installation costs for renewable energy systems can be high, they can lead to significant cost savings in the long term. Once installed, these systems require little maintenance and can provide energy for free, reducing the dependence on expensive traditional energy sources.

  3. Customer Appeal: With the growing awareness and interest in sustainability, campers are becoming more environmentally conscious and seeking camping facilities that share their values. By offering Wild Energy, campgrounds can attract a new customer base and appeal to a broader audience.

  4. Government Incentives: In some areas, the government offers incentives for businesses that implement renewable energy sources. These incentives can provide additional financial benefits for campgrounds that invest in Wild Energy.

  5. Resilience: Wild Energy can provide backup power in case of power outages, ensuring that essential systems, such as lighting and communication equipment, remain operational.

Overall, Wild Energy is helping to shift the campground industry toward a more sustainable and eco-friendly future. While there may be some upfront costs involved in implementing these systems, the long-term benefits can make it a worthwhile investment for campgrounds.

    Make Electric Sub-metering a Competitive Differentiator For Your RV Park

    Many RV parks maintain a 'No EV' policy due to concerns about power consumption. However, what if you were the only park in your area to embrace EVs and ERVs? By allowing them and providing electric vehicle charging infrastructure at each pedestal, you can proactively market this as a unique offering. This would not only attract more environmentally conscious campers but also set you apart from your competition.

    Disconnecting Meters: Is There a Good Use Case?

    In years past, we’ll admit that we often recommended disconnecting meters to customers. After all, it seemed a great option.  When the site was vacant, you could turn off the power.  Mr. Johnson in the site next door couldn’t run his extension cord over to the empty site. However, after talking to customers and through real world data analysis, the team at Wild Energy has come to the realization that disconnecting meters may not be the right solution in 99% of cases.

    Owning an RV park is a dream come true for many, but as an RV park owner, one of the most significant challenges you face is margin compression. This occurs when increasing energy costs eat into your profits. Energy is the lifeblood of your park, providing a comfortable and functional environment for your guests. However, with the relentless rise in energy rates, coupled with the electrification of vehicles, including Electric RVs (ERVs), you allocate more of your budget to cover these expenses, leaving less room for profit.
