Zenergi has supported Leigh Academies Trust with its energy procurement for more than 10 years to date.
When faced with a significant renewal cost increase, Zenergi hosted a tailored workshop for the Trust to explore alternative procurement options available to the group. Leigh Academies opted for Zenergi’s Zen Flex Bespoke product, allowing them to mitigate volatility by purchasing energy in advance and trading on the day-ahead market.
The Zen Flex Bespoke product has helped us navigate the volatile energy market, achieve significant cost savings and budget certainty. We’re extremely pleased with the results and would recommend Zenergi to any organisation seeking to optimise energy costs.
