Business Energy For Schools & Educational Establishments
Schools, academies, colleges and universities have significant and complex energy needs. We help educational establishments reduce their energy costs — freeing up budget for teaching and learning.
Energy Costs Are a Growing Pressure For Schools
Schools and educational establishments are significant energy consumers — heating and lighting large buildings, running IT infrastructure, catering facilities and sports halls. Energy costs have risen sharply in recent years, putting real pressure on already stretched school budgets.
Many schools are on expensive out-of-contract rates or have accepted renewal offers without comparing the market. With the right contract, schools can make significant savings — money that goes directly back into teaching and learning.
We work with state schools, academies, independent schools, colleges and universities across the UK. We understand the procurement requirements of educational establishments, including the need for transparent pricing and compliance with public sector procurement guidelines.

- High energy consumption from heating, lighting, IT and catering
- Budget pressure — every saving goes back into teaching and learning
- Multiple buildings and supply points across a school campus

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from schools about business energy.
Do state schools need to follow procurement rules when switching energy?
State-funded schools should follow their local authority or academy trust's procurement guidelines. We work transparently and can provide full documentation of our comparison process to support compliance requirements.
Can you manage energy for a multi-academy trust?
Yes. We work with multi-academy trusts and can manage energy contracts across all schools in the trust — often securing significantly better rates through combined volume.
How do you handle summer holiday periods with lower consumption?
We factor seasonal consumption patterns into our comparison. For schools with significantly lower summer consumption, we'll advise on the contract structure that best reflects your actual usage.
Can you help with both electricity and gas for our school?
Yes. We can compare and manage contracts for both electricity and gas — and water — giving you a single point of contact for all your utility costs.
