GWT2Energy Weekly Power-Up: Your Restaurant Energy Briefing

November 17, 2025

A 5-Minute Read to Keep You Ahead of Energy Costs

Welcome to your weekly energy market update from GWT2Energy, designed to help you navigate the volatile energy landscape and make informed decisions for your restaurant. This week, we’re seeing continued upward pressure on natural gas and electricity prices, making proactive energy management more critical than ever.

This Week’s Energy Market at a Glance

Recent market activity shows a significant trend of rising natural gas prices, which directly impacts both heating and cooking costs for your restaurant. Electricity prices are following suit, driven by increased demand and higher fuel costs for power generation.

What This Means for Your Restaurant

With energy representing 3-5% of a restaurant’s total operating costs, the current market trends can have a significant impact on your bottom line. The average restaurant already spends between $2,000 and $6,000 per month on energy, and with natural gas prices up 16% in the coming year, those costs are set to rise.

Cooking, refrigeration, and lighting account for over two-thirds of a restaurant’s energy consumption. As we head into the winter months, increased heating demand will further strain energy budgets. However, the projected decrease in gasoline and diesel prices offers a silver lining, potentially lowering your supply and delivery expenses.
