$10 Million and Climbing: Wild Energy Parks Are Recovering Real Money

$10 Million and Climbing: Wild Energy Parks Are Recovering Real Money

Wild Energy parks have now surpassed $10 million in recovered utility costs, and the number continues to grow steadily. Based on recent data, recovery is happening at more than $18,000 per day.

Averaging this across all our properties, that comes out to around $45,000* per property, though the actual amount varies depending on park size and guest volume. Simply by implementing accurate metering, parks are turning unknown usage into actionable data that supports smarter operations and stronger financial performance.

With electric bills often approaching $100,000 per year, the ability to track and recover utility costs has a major impact on the bottom line.

Here’s how parks are making it happen:

  • Short-stay utility metering: Billing guests for what they actually use

  • Flat-rate optimization: Adjusting rates based on real-time usage data

  • Operational visibility: Spotting and fixing inefficiencies quickly

  • Automation: PMS integrations make billing fast and accurate

Another added benefit: when guests are billed for what they use, we typically see a 30% drop in consumption. This means lower operating costs and a meaningful step toward energy conservation.

More transparency. More control. More value for park operators.

Let’s talk about what Wild Energy can do for your park

*Note: These numbers come from aggregated data across all Wild Energy parks. The total recovered cost reflects what our customers have been able to bill or recover using our metering system, based on real usage and utility rates. The per-park average is just a general benchmark. Actual results vary depending on how each park uses the system, their size, and their billing approach.

    What the Texas Electricity Tax Exemption Means for Submetered RV Parks

    If you operate an RV park in Texas and use smart sub-metering, you may be sitting on a major cost-saving opportunity.

    According to Texas law (Administrative Code § 3.295), electricity used by long-term tenants — those staying over 30 consecutive days — is exempt from sales tax if they consume over 50% of the electricity measured through a single utility account. This is known as the predominant use exemption.
