Radwinter CofE  Primary School: Building relationships through a streamlined approach to utilities management.

Case study highlights

Zenergi ensures the school is meeting its compliance requirements and tracking its energy efficiency

Best value and compliant contracts

Zenergi has looked after the electricity contracts for Radwinter CofE (VA) Primary School since 2012. During this time, Zenergi has helped the school to access best value and compliant contracts and provided its value-added services, including bill validation,
ensuring that the school is only paying for the energy it uses at the rates that have been agreed with the supplier; and bespoke reports to assist with budgeting.

Over the course of the decade that Zenergi has supported Radwinter CofE (VA) Primary School, the school has taken advantage of further services, allowing a streamlined approach to its utilities management.

Zenergi now manages the school’s water supply, allowing the consumption data to be accessed in the same portal as the electricity consumption data for ease of monitoring and reducing use and associated costs. In addition, Zenergi ensures the school is meeting
its compliance requirements and tracking its energy efficiency by carrying out the renewal of its Display Energy Certificates (DECs).

Supporting the school’s new Pop-Up Playgroup

As a longstanding valued customer, Zenergi was delighted to support Radwinter CofE (VA) Primary School when it started its new Pop-Up Playgroup to offer support and an opportunity to meet other local families. Zenergi provided the Playgroup with lidded thermal mugs, enabling parents to enjoy a hot drink at the session while ensuring the safety of their children.

It is really useful to have Zenergi looking after our school’s electricity and water all inone place. Over the past decade Zenergi have always been quick to answer queries, they have communicated effectively and helped answer questions, for example, working out cost savings when we swapped to energy saving lighting. It is great to work with a company who are efficient and friendly.
