Universities use a lot of energy.
So much so, in fact, that alone or in consortia they often have the ability to purchase at advantageous prices and negotiate terms that allow for long term stability in costs and supplies. The university sector is also developing approaches to generating their own sustainable energy and heat, cutting bills even further.
Unfortunately this good news doesn’t apply to all providers – approaches and costs vary, and as we will see for those paying a supplier in a similar way to households the immediate future does look fairly expensive. Providers in this latter group will be among those who benefit most from the government energy bills relief scheme – announced today by the Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy.
