Why is Purchasing Energy in Schools important?

The reality is: Devolved budgets and tight resources Energy costs are rising Schools are part of the ‘Efficiency Agenda’ and required

to make 2.5% savings In many schools 15-20% reduction of the annual energy

consumption is a reasonable and attainable target Source: School Energy Website

Average annual energy cost per pupil in English Schools is £44 Source: School Energy Website

How do Schools buy Energy?

Through Local Authority Purchasing Consortia

Unique selling Points Not for profit Jointly owned by Local Authorities Work in conjunction with Local

Authorities Annual expenditure on energy of over

£60 million per consortium

Page 8: Teachers TV Document Title Energy Costs Author Gary James, Cambridgeshire Council Associated Teachers TV programmes Save Money: Energy Costs Note to teachers

What are the advantages of buying through a Consortium? Competitive tariffs Energy purchasing power and professional

procurement expertise Modem meters Energy Consumption data from supplier They are Expert Energy Buyers Been through an EU Compliant Tender

Process They do the hard work for you

Proposed Consortium Energy Procurement Strategy

A consortium facilitates the provision of energy supply contracts on behalf of a number of local authorities.

Electricity and gas costs have increased substantially over the last five years and the Consortia are considering changes in the way they let energy contracts

Benefits from the proposed changes:-– Variable prices have a narrower range and on average deliver

lower costs than fixed prices– Prices smoothed – elimination of price shocks during a budget

period– More competition for more attractive contracts– Reduction in time spent on tendering processes– Supplier consolidation– Substantial contract value and longer term agreements

LEAP Project

Primary objective for Consortia involvement was to offer customers environmentally friendly products

12 local authority partners across Europe Pan European Procurement Exercise

delivering environmentally friendly (1) LCD Computer Monitors

(2) Cleaning Materials

Sustainable Energy

‘Buying Renewable Energy’Consortia are committed to the environment, as much as 79% of electricity may be supplied from accredited renewable sources such as:

Wind Turbines Energy generated from waste Solar Power Hydro(National production of electricity from renewable sources is only 4%)

Page 12: Teachers TV Document Title Energy Costs Author Gary James, Cambridgeshire Council Associated Teachers TV programmes Save Money: Energy Costs Note to teachers

Sustainable Energy Catalogue

A group of consortia have joined together as “Pro5”. One of the initiatives they are leading

on is a “Sustainable Energy Catalogue” available in 2007.

The proposed catalogue will cover three main areas:-

(1) Micro generation – wind turbines - solar panels(2) Energy conservation(3) Totally recycled products

Sustainable Schools

Grants available:-DTI DTI’s low carbon buildings programme will provide grants

for micro generation technologies to schools and not for profit sector & private businesses.

DTI’s programme will fund a wide range of microgenertion technologies including:- Solar photovoltaic, wind turbines, small hydro and Solar thermal hot water. Source: www.lowcarbonbuildings.org.uk

Defra offer a Bio-Capital Grant scheme The grant supports the installation of biomass fuelled heat

and combined heat & power projects in schools in England Grants can vary from £25,000 to £1 million. The scheme

runs for five years. Source: www.defra.gov.uk
