Prepare early for energy procurement: why schools must act now
As energy prices continue to rise, schools are facing growing pressure to manage their budgets effectively. Did you know that every 1p increase in energy costs can add an extra £14,000 to your annual expenses for a typical school consuming 600,000 kWh of electricity and 800,000 kWh of gas? Proactive energy procurement is no longer a choice—it’s essential.
Timing is everything – Securing your energy contracts early is one of the smartest ways to control rising costs. Energy prices are volatile, with fluctuations influenced by global market forces. Locking in a contract now will provide you with budget certainty, allowing you to forecast monthly energy bills confidently.
Real savings: case study – Schools taking a proactive approach can achieve impressive savings. Take Turton High School, for example. By switching from a basket energy agreement to a tailored energy solution, they saved £150,000—a testament to the benefits of early procurement decisions.
