Energy costs are a growing concern for colleges, academies and schools across the UK, where tight budgets and rising utility bills can divert critical resources away from education. At Horizon Power, we specialise in providing high-quality energy efficiency technologies designed to reduce costs and enhance sustainability.

With a focus on meticulous project management, we work around your schedule, ensuring seamless installation prioritised during holidays or non-term times to avoid disrupting students and staff. By partnering with us, you can take control of your energy costs while contributing to a greener future for your institution.

For organisations which don’t have suitable space on site, we develop near-site projects to deploy solar, CHP or heat pumps on nearby land which we secure for you, with zero capital cost or risk to you. These systems are connected directly to your site providing renewable energy and heating to you. It’s ideal for organizations with limited site or roof space or those looking to scale energy production beyond their premises.

Educational institutions are some of the most energy-dependent buildings, with heating, lighting, IT systems, and lab equipment driving high electricity consumption. Our systems offer a long-term solution to reduce costs and improve environmental responsibility:

• Significant Cost Savings: Reduce your energy expenses by up to 70%, enabling substantial long-term financial benefits, for example with solar energy solutions, colleges and academy schools can lock in predictable energy costs, shielding budgets from volatile utility rates. These savings can be redirected toward enhancing academic programs, upgrading campus facilities, and supporting student initiatives.
• Our solar systems are designed to deliver consistent energy production for 30 years or more, providing a sustainable financial advantage while contributing to your institution’s environmental goals. Investing in solar not only reduces operating costs but also reinforces your commitment to a greener, more efficient future.
• Environmental Leadership: Set an example for students by reducing your carbon footprint and embracing renewable energy.
• Stable Energy Costs: Protect your institution from fluctuating energy prices with predictable, long-term savings.
• Zero Capital Investment Options: Benefit from options like Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) or compliant leasing arrangements, enabling access to renewable energy and heating systems with no upfront costs and immediate savings.
• Energy Resilience: Generate your own power for increased reliability and independence.

Seamless Installation with Horizon Power’s Project Management

We understand that the top priority for schools and colleges is maintaining a safe and undisturbed learning environment. That’s why Horizon Power focuses on comprehensive project management to ensure every solar installation is carried out efficiently, with minimal disruption:

Flexibility

We plan installations around your academic calendar, focusing on holidays, half-terms, and non-term times to avoid interfering with classes or campus activities.

Tailored Solutions

Every project begins with a detailed consultation to assess your facility’s energy needs and structural capabilities. We then design a system that maximises efficiency and aligns with your school’s goals.

Safeguarding and Health and Safety First

Our accredited and experienced team is fully trained to work in educational environments, adhering to rigorous safety standards to protect students, staff, and visitors.

Communication and Coordination

We collaborate closely with facility managers to ensure clear communication at every stage of the project, keeping you informed and in control.

Quality Assurance

From initial design to final installation, every aspect of your system is executed with precision, using only premium-grade equipment to ensure long-term reliability and performance.

Maintenance and Lifetime Monitoring and Aftercare

Our energy efficient solutions incorporate comprehensive maintenance, real-time system monitoring, and dedicated aftercare services to ensure optimal performance throughout the system’s lifespan. With proactive support, we handle repairs, upgrades, and performance checks, giving you peace of mind and maximum energy savings for decades.

Flexible Financing Options for Schools and Colleges

Horizon Power offers a variety of purchasing models to make Solar PV, Battery Storage, LED Lighting, CHP and Heat Pumps accessible for institutions with diverse budget needs:

1. Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS)

Eliminate upfront costs with our EaaS model. We handle installation, maintenance, and operation, while your institution pays for the electricity or heat used based on accurate, metered readings.

• No Capital Investment Required: Ideal for schools working within limited budgets.
• Hassle-Free: We manage all aspects of the system, so you can focus on education.
• Flexible Payment Options: Only pay for the energy you consume.

2. Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs)

With a PPA, we install and maintain your system at no cost and with zero risk to you. This means you avoid the financial and operational risks associated with ownership, such as upfront capital investment, maintenance, repairs, and performance uncertainties. You simply purchase the electricity or heat generated at a lower-than-market rate, reducing energy bills from day one.

• Budget-Friendly: Immediate savings with no upfront expenditure.
• Maintenance Included: We handle system upkeep for the duration of the agreement.

3. Traditional Ownership

Organisations with available funds can invest in outright ownership, maximising long-term savings and taking full control of the energy or heating system.

• High ROI: After the system pays for itself, enjoy decades of low cost electricity from solar PV and reliable, efficient heating and cooling.
• Grant Eligibility: Access government grants and incentives, such as the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) or PSDS.
