How Much Power Does A Restaurant Use?
The power consumption of a restaurant depends on the size of the restaurant, the number of appliances and equipment used, and the level of activity. On average, a small restaurant that occupies between 1,000 to 2,000 square feet may use around 75,000 to 100,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity per year. A larger restaurant that covers 5,000 to 10,000 square feet may use up to 300,000 kilowatt-hours per year. However, factors such as energy-efficient equipment and technology and smart energy management practices can significantly reduce a restaurant’s power consumption.
