Helping schools manage their energy.

Many schools are left to their own devices after becoming an academy. This could mean purchasing energy directly rather than being managed by the local authority.  We’ve helped many schools through this transition, by overcoming the problems, but also taking advantage of the opportunities to save money.

YOU’RE IN THE DRIVING SEAT

You have more freedom to choose your supplier, the type of supply contract you have, duration and service requirements. So you’ll have a supplier that works around you – not the other way around.We have relationships with 20 Ofgem registered energy suppliers, giving you more options. But there’s no need to feel daunted because that’s why we are here – we’ll help you every step of the way from separating from the local authority contract, gathering consumption data, tendering and making the right choice for you.

We help source and compare competitive electricity and gas prices.

HELPING YOU MAKE AN INFORMED CHOICE

Buying commercial energy isn’t as straight-forward as for your home. There are various tariffs, contract types, and contract clauses that could result in significant penalties. We’ve seen too many businesses make the wrong choices because they aren’t fully informed. Rather than let the local authority make a decision for you that might not be in your best interest, why not take control of your own decision, and ensure you get the deal that’s right for you, and you alone?
For example, if you haven’t sourced energy prices before, do you know if any of the following are fixed, flexible, or not included in the quote at all?
– Distribution charges
– Renewable Obligation charges
– Energy Market Reform charges

Comparing commercial energy deals isn’t straightforward – let us help you

Energy consumption and spend reports

From our experience, we find that most local authorities give little or no assistance in creating reports for schools about their energy consumption or spend.

WE’RE DIFFERENT

After helping you select your chosen supplier, we’ll check invoices for you to make sure you’re being charged correctly. This helps you save time by knowing when you receive a verified invoice from us, it’s ok to pay. Rather than potentially having incorrect bills, over-spending, and having to resolve billing issues with the supplier yourselves.
We log all invoice data, and send you management reports to help you know how much gas and electricity you’re using, how much you’re spending, and how you are performing. We find this helps schools in particular because every penny counts – and by knowing more, you can do more.
