One central foundation for professional park management
At a holiday park, energy data often comes from multiple sources. This includes main meters, submeters, holiday homes, EV charging points, swimming pools, hospitality facilities, sanitary buildings, solar panels and technical installations.
When this information is spread across supplier portals, spreadsheets and separate systems, creating a reliable overview takes time. It also becomes more difficult to identify anomalies early, allocate energy costs correctly and compare accommodations or locations.
EnergyGrip brings all relevant data together in one central environment. This creates a reliable foundation for:
-
Energy monitoring
-
Park and location management
-
Billing and cost allocation
-
Maintenance and disruption detection
-
Reporting and sustainability
-
Insights for owners, tenants and guests
-
Integration with existing systems
Instead of working with disconnected data sources, you use one platform that makes energy information clear and immediately actionable.
From energy consumption to better park management
Energy consumption at a holiday park changes continuously. Occupancy varies by season, accommodations have different usage patterns and central facilities such as swimming pools, hospitality venues and charging areas can account for a significant share of total consumption.
An annual bill or monthly meter reading mainly shows what has already happened. Active energy management requires more up-to-date and better-structured data.
With EnergyGrip, you continuously monitor the consumption and performance of accommodations and facilities. This makes it easier to see where consumption deviates, which locations perform differently than expected and where optimisation is possible.
This helps you to:
-
Identify unnecessary energy consumption sooner
-
Investigate anomalies and disruptions faster
-
Compare accommodations and facilities
-
Prepare maintenance more effectively
-
Allocate energy consumption transparently
-
Monitor the results of sustainability measures
-
Inform guests and owners more effectively
-
Manage parks and locations centrally
Energy data becomes a practical tool for both day-to-day park management and long-term strategy.
What does EnergyGrip offer your holiday park?
Central insight into accommodations and facilities
Manage consumption and generation across holiday homes, central facilities, buildings and connections from one clear environment.
Reliable data for billing
Make metering data per home, accommodation or usage unit available for cost allocation, periodic billing and existing administrative processes.
Earlier visibility of anomalies
Receive alerts for unexpected consumption, peak loads, missing data or unusual behaviour from meters and installations.
Fewer manual meter readings
Automate the reading of digital meters and, where technically possible, existing analogue metering setups. This reduces time-consuming and error-prone work.
More targeted maintenance
Use current and historical data to investigate anomalies remotely and send the technical team to site with better information.
Greater transparency for guests and owners
Give end users insight into their own energy use and make consumption and costs easier to understand.
One environment for multiple parks
Manage different holiday parks, accommodations, meters, owners and users within one scalable platform.

EnergyGrip operates independently of meter brands, energy suppliers and manufacturers. This allows you to manage data from a wide range of technical environments within one platform.
Reliable submetering per accommodation
When multiple accommodations are connected behind one main connection, consumption per holiday home, chalet, camping pitch or facility is not automatically visible.
With EnergyGrip, data from submeters can be collected and processed centrally. This creates a reliable foundation for:
-
Insight per accommodation or usage unit
-
Periodic billing
-
Transparent allocation of energy costs
-
Analysis of consumption per home or facility
-
Comparisons between accommodations and periods
-
Detection of unusually high or low consumption
-
Communication with owners, tenants and guests
Where local data collection is required, Nextalink can be used to automatically read existing meters and securely send the data to EnergyGrip.
This means existing metering equipment does not need to be replaced as standard.
Without a gateway where possible. With a gateway where necessary.
Does a holiday park already have digital metering equipment, ODA data, a building management system or a usable API? This data can often be made available directly in EnergyGrip.
Is additional on-site data collection required? Nextalink can be used to read meters and installations locally.
The combination of direct integrations, APIs, ODA data and Nextalink makes it possible to manage a wide range of accommodations, facilities and technical situations within the same EnergyGrip environment.
This allows you to use existing infrastructure where possible and add hardware only where necessary.
How EnergyGrip works for holiday parks
1. Select a park or location
We start with a specific situation. This could be one holiday park, a group of accommodations, a central facility or a leisure organisation with multiple locations.
2. Map meters and systems
Together, we assess which main meters, submeters, installations, EV charging points, solar panels and software systems are already in place.
3. Connect the data to EnergyGrip
Existing digital data sources are connected directly or through APIs wherever possible. When local data collection is required, Nextalink can be used.
4. Configure parks and accommodations
Parks, buildings, homes, facilities, connections and users are clearly structured. Dashboards, alerts and access permissions can then be configured.
5. Use the data for management and billing
Monitor energy performance, identify anomalies and use reliable metering data for billing, maintenance, reporting and sustainability.
6. Share insights with end users
Give owners, tenants, guests and other stakeholders access to relevant energy data through EnergyGrip or EnergyFlip.

Customer example: Landal
At Landal’s Zeebad holiday park, meter readings were collected manually. This was labour-intensive, prone to errors and cost €10,400 per year.
With EnergyGrip, digital electricity meters and analogue gas meters were brought online. This created up-to-date insight per home and made reliable data available for billing, internal management and communication with owners and tenants.
EnergyGrip therefore forms the digital foundation for more efficient processes, lower operational costs and greater control over the park’s energy use.
