Energy is a major cost for parishes and we would urge you to consider carefully the advice below which has been produced by the Procurement Group of the CofE which provides advice and guidance to help you.

Advice: Utilities management for Parishes >>

More information:
Our parishes (nationally) are probably overpaying on their utility bills by at least £3.6m pa*. Many parishes are locked into contracts and don’t realise this; reviewing the documentary advice above can make a huge difference.

*Based on analysis of a number of parishes in the Chelmsford Diocese, which identified that 90% could save between £300 and £1800 by switching. The simple calculation of £3.6m is made up of 90% x 13,500 parishes x £300.
