Case Study - Odd culture Group

Our Customer

The Challenge

Odd Culture Group is a hospitality group redefining Sydney's hospitality scene with inclusive and diverse brands, food and drinks you’ll actually enjoy, and venues you’ll feel at home in.

Established in 2020, their portfolio includes iconic Sydney venues such as The Duke Enmore, The Old Fitzroy, Odd Culture Newtown, SPÖN, and Pleasure Club. Their commitment to inclusivity, remarkable hospitality and catering to local communities is enhanced by their firm stance on remaining strictly pokie-free.

How we helped

Choice Energy is the dedicated energy partner of the Night Time Industries Association (NTIA).

As a member of the NTIA, Odd Culture Group was connected with a dedicated specialist from Choice Energy to assist members with strategies and solutions to reduce their energy costs and improve energy efficiency.

James Thorpe, CEO of Odd Culture Group, knew the benefits of locking in energy rates, having two venues already on fixed contracts. Through Choice Energy's in-depth analysis and expert guidance, two additional venues were identified as eligible to move from variable energy rates to a large market fixed contract – a strategic opportunity will save the group $11,900 a year across the two venues. This is close to $12,000 a year that may have gone unidentified as a way to reduce the operational spend.

“Choice Energy helped us transition to a large market contract for two of our sites, unlocking significant savings that we wouldn’t have identified ourselves. They also let us know our other small market location was on the best rate possible, so we have peace of mind knowing that we won’t be overpaying for our energy for the foreseeable future." - James Thorpe, CEO
