P3 Recovery Burleigh is the original location in what's become a rapidly expanding franchise network across Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria. Just minutes from the beach and Burleigh Head National Park, the centre offers science-backed recovery therapies including ice baths, contrast therapy, infrared saunas, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, compression therapy, and IV drip services. The facility serves the active Burleigh community with equipment and therapies designed to help people move better, feel better, and recover faster.
Operating a recovery centre means running power-intensive equipment continuously. Ice baths need constant cooling, infrared saunas draw significant current, hyperbaric chambers require substantial power, and the facility maintains multiple temperature-controlled pools throughout operating hours. For a business where energy costs directly affect profitability, managing electricity efficiently becomes essential to maintaining competitive membership pricing and supporting franchise expansion plans.
Continued increases from enery retailers pressuring the bottom-line
Self-managed, have to negotiate full retail prices and manualy check for billing errors or overcharges
Inability to see energy usage patterns or improve processes based on real data
P3 Recovery Burleigh faced three interconnected challenges with their electricity management. Energy retailers were increasing rates regularly, which created pressure on their bottom line. The team found it difficult to pass these rising costs onto members without affecting their competitive position in the market.
The business was self-managing electricity accounts, which meant negotiating retail prices independently and manually checking every bill for errors or overcharges. This consumed time that could have been spent on member services, operations, or franchise development.
The third issue was visibility. Without real-time data on energy consumption patterns, the team had no baseline for understanding where electricity was being used most intensively or how operational changes might improve efficiency. They couldn't identify opportunities to reduce consumption or validate whether equipment was performing as expected.
As franchise expansion accelerated, these challenges compounded. Each new location would require setting up accounts, negotiating rates, and establishing verification systems, which added administrative complexity to an already demanding growth phase.
P3 Recovery Burleigh achieved a 23% reduction in electricity costs, which translates to substantial annual savings that protect profit margins and maintain competitive membership pricing. The savings create financial headroom for reinvestment in equipment, facilities, or franchise expansion.
The team reclaimed three hours per month that was previously spent on energy administration, bill verification, and retailer communications. Over a year, that's more than four full working days back in the business.
Smart meter implementation through Watts Mine provided real-time energy usage data, which means the team can now track consumption patterns, validate equipment performance, and identify efficiency opportunities. This visibility supports informed decisions about operational schedules and equipment management.
