Centralised Energy Contracts for Schools
• Why get involved?
• How to get involved?
![Page 17: The Schools Procurement Unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/5681313d550346895d97b723/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Why get involved?
• Electricity is one of the most significant spend items in a schools non-pay budget.
• Estimated savings of 20-30% in the first year and 5% in the second year.
![Page 18: The Schools Procurement Unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/5681313d550346895d97b723/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
How can schools get involved?
• Procurement – OGP lead– Schools currently in a contract with an electricity
supplier, should continue to fulfil the terms of that contract.
• Management lead – Energy Efficient Plan with clear targets set out?
• Operational – Staff and students alike, Energy in Education Resource pack, www.energyineducation.ie

management & principals • Staff & students taking ownership of data• Energy Efficiency - the greater the
