Insights from the school

Having Zenergi’s knowledgeable team take care of the complicated issue of budgeting and monitoring our energy consumption is so much more time-effective than us doing it internally. They also keep us informed of what’s happening in the market and any opportunities that could benefit the school.

Penwortham Girls’ High School

Reliable procurement, cost control & long-term partnership

Penwortham Girls’ High School in Lancashire needed an energy partner they could trust—one that would simplify procurement, control costs, and provide expert guidance. For years, Zenergi has been that partner, delivering strategic energy solutions that ensure financial stability and operational efficiency.

Smart procurement for budget certainty

We stepped in to provide a fully compliant procurement service for the school’s gas and electricity contracts. By securing a fixed contract, we eliminated price uncertainty, helping the school accurately forecast budgets and avoid financial surprises.

  • Fixed energy contract = predictable costs & financial stability
  • Compliant procurement = peace of mind & risk mitigation

Seamless energy management and support

Beyond procurement, our comprehensive contract management service takes care of day-to-day queries, ensuring seamless communication and support.

We also take care of bill validation for Penwortham Girls’ High School. Every energy bill is meticulously checked before payment, ensuring Penwortham Girls’ High School only pays for what it uses – saving both time and money. Our experienced energy consultants handle any supplier errors, resolving discrepancies and ensuring the school is  billed according to use.

Results

Our partnership with Penwortham Girls’ High School has delivered:

  • Accurate budget forecasting through a fixed energy contract
  • Invoice validation saving time and avoiding overpayments
  • Reliable support for all energy-related queries

Beyond procurement: A holistic approach to energy efficiency

Energy management doesn’t stop at procurement. Penwortham Girls’ High School has also leveraged Zenergi’s wider services, including  Display Energy Certificates (DECs), to ensure compliance and identify efficiency opportunities.

With our data-driven insights and hands-on support, the school is now better equipped to manage its energy usage, reduce waste, and drive long-term efficiency.

Struggling with the complexities of energy management? Let Zenergi take care of the details, so you can focus on what matters most – delivering exceptional education. From optimising costs to streamlining energy operations and ensuring compliance, we’ve got you covered—just like Penwortham Girls’ High School.
