Energy procurement in independent schools is no longer a routine administrative task. Complex estates, heritage and listed buildings, shared meters serving several buildings, and evolving compliance mean that energy decisions carry strategic, financial, and operational implications. A fully informed decision helps schools secure financial stability and reduce risk.
For independent schools balancing the impact of the removal of tax breaks on school fees, having budget certainty is a major factor in energy procurement decision-making. With energy costs at such a significant overhead, decision-makers want to know how much energy is going to cost before they are setting aside their annual budgets. Otherwise, it’s not easy to determine where to allocate resources."
