Energy Solutions for Automotive & Dealerships
Access commercial-grade energy structure without operating a large corporate fleet.
Automotive facilities rely on steady, equipment-driven energy use. Service bays require continuous power for lifts, diagnostics, ventilation, and heating. Showrooms depend on consistent lighting and climate control to support daily operations. Many dealerships and repair centres remain on standard utility rates without realizing that fixed-rate plans can offer a more defined structure for their electricity and natural gas costs.
As a boutique energy retailer, Ontario Wholesale Energy (OWE) offers fixed-rate plans tailored for single-site dealerships and multi-location groups. By serving over 44,000 small and mid-sized Ontario business accounts, including more than 4,500 automotive operations, we structure energy contracts that reflect the way your facilities actually use electricity and natural gas.
Your utility continues to deliver your energy and issue your bill. OWE simply secures your rate per unit through a fixed-rate contract, while your usage may vary month to month.
Why Energy Feels Challenging in Automotive
Automotive facilities operate multiple high-demand areas, each with different energy requirements. Service equipment, wash bays, detail areas, climate-controlled showrooms, and office spaces all draw steady electricity throughout the day. Seasonal temperature changes also affect natural gas and electricity use, especially in large workshop environments. When each area follows its own usage pattern or meter, planning can become complex for operations teams.
We can help automotive businesses with a custom contract structure that aligns with their operational hours, equipment load, and seasonal requirements across one or multiple sites.
How Fixed-Rate Plans Support Automotive Operations
Fixed-rate electricity and natural gas contracts allow automotive businesses to select a defined rate per unit. Many dealerships and service centres choose this approach when they want energy contract terms that match the way their facilities run. With long operating hours in service bays to climate-controlled showrooms, detailing areas, wash bays, and parts operations, a fixed-rate contract allows these different areas to operate under one stable rate structure.
Electricity & Natural Gas, What to Know
Electricity (Service + Showroom)
Automotive facilities rely on electricity for equipment, climate control, lighting, and wash or detail operations. Time-of-use schedules and seasonal periods can influence the rate you pay on standard utility plans.
Benefits:
- Multi-year fixed-rate electricity contracts
- OWE energy advisors help you select contract options based on your usage patterns, equipment demands, and operating hours
- No service interruption, as your utility continues delivering electricity
Natural Gas (Heating + Shop Comfort)
Many service bays, wash facilities, and showroom buildings use natural gas for space heating and hot-water systems. Weather changes can significantly increase the amount of natural gas required.
Benefits:
- Fixed-rate natural gas contracts tailored to your facility’s usage profile
- Term options aligned with how your company operates
- No change to your existing utility delivery or billing
Multi-Site & Dealership Groups
Large automotive groups often oversee multiple locations, each with its own energy usage pattern.
OWE supports dealership groups by:
- Structuring a custom contract that supports your usage needs
- A single point of contact for questions about contract terms across your group
- Providing province-wide support
