Too much time and focus is spent on tightening budgets and endless admin. Start simplifying your energy management and procurement with specialist support from LASER.
With our comprehensive energy procurement support services, you’ll benefit from cost savings, reduced admin headaches, and a straightforward path to sustainability.
Rising energy costs and complex contracts that add to administrative strains significantly impact other key educational priorities. We understand how navigating energy expenses can be difficult, especially with unpredictable price fluctuations.
By switching to energy-efficient solutions like LED lighting and Solar PV, schools can save up to 70% on lighting electricity costs.
LASER’s tailored services make energy management simpler, allowing schools to reallocate savings towards improving classroom resources and student outcomes.
Managing energy for multiple schools within a MAT can be overwhelming, with inconsistent billing and complex procurement processes, leading to inefficiencies and wasted time.
LASER simplifies this by offering centralised procurement and consolidated billing solutions from reliable energy providers.
By adopting sustainable solutions, your MAT can reduce energy consumption and save costs across your entire estate — while enhancing learning environments and meeting sustainability goals.
Managing energy costs is a growing challenge for schools, particularly in an unpredictable market. Flexible energy procurement is designed to help schools reduce risk, improve budget stability, and make informed decisions, without needing in‑house energy expertise.
Flexible energy procurement is a way of buying electricity and gas gradually over time, rather than fixing all of your energy at a single point.
To give a simple comparison:
instead of committing to one provider at one price on one day, flexible procurement allows energy to be purchased in stages, when market conditions are more favourable.
For schools, this helps smooth out peaks and troughs in energy prices and reduces exposure to sudden market spikes.
Schools that work with us are grouped into a flexible purchasing basket alongside other public sector organisations. This shared approach gives greater buying power and access to more strategic purchasing opportunities.
Our dedicated energy procurement team:
This means energy is secured over time, helping to manage volatility and give schools greater cost certainty.
Flexible procurement is particularly suited to schools and MATs because it:
Importantly, schools are not expected to track markets or make complex decisions themselves; this is managed on their behalf.
Managing energy contracts doesn’t stop once they’re signed. For many schools, the ongoing administration (checking invoices, resolving supplier issues and understanding consumption) can be just as time‑consuming as procurement itself.
“The big thing with LASER Energy, I think, is the strength of their customer support team and the data analytics we get. Our Energy Manager has worked with LASER to create bespoke reports that are really useful in reducing consumption.”
Clive Hammond,
Head of Procurement, Lift Schools
We validate supplier bills on your behalf, checking that charges are accurate and aligned to your contract. Any discrepancies are investigated and resolved by our team directly with the supplier, so schools aren’t left chasing queries or navigating complex billing processes.
To simplify administration further, all meter charges are consolidated into a single LASER‑branded invoice, reducing paperwork and making it easier for finance teams to manage energy costs in one place.
Schools can raise any billing or supplier concerns directly with us, and we manage the entire resolution process end‑to‑end, saving time and avoiding disruption.
Alongside Fully Managed support, schools can access our Bureau service, providing clear visibility of energy use, cost and carbon data.
Through an online portal, schools can view:
Together, Fully Managed and Bureau services give schools confidence, clarity and control, without adding to already stretched workloads.
With our LED lighting solutions, schools and MATs are already enjoying significant energy savings while creating brighter, more engaging learning environments. By switching to LED, you can cut lighting electricity usage by up to 70%, reduce your carbon footprint, and create an improved atmosphere for students and staff.
Read our case studies:
We were delighted to work with St James The Great Academy on upgrading the lighting within areas of their school. They chose to work with us through our Managed Access option – which means we managed the whole project on their behalf. Our in-house project team liaised with suppliers and installers from our net zero framework and managed the entire installation from the initial survey through to the completion on site.
For this school, the upgrade wasn’t only about saving money on their energy bills, it completely transformed their learning environments. Students and staff can now enjoy a brighter space.
Looking for long-term energy independence? Our rooftop solar installations allow you to generate your own electricity, reducing your reliance on the volatile energy market. This not only brings down your bills but also shields your budget from unexpected price hikes. With LASER’s rooftop solar solutions, you’ll take control of your energy future while contributing to a more sustainable planet.
