Portfield School Case Study - Christchurch

Portfield School in Christchurch, a dedicated educational institution, was facing a substantial monthly electricity bill of around £2,500.

As an organisation committed to providing a quality learning environment while managing operational costs, the school recognised the need to explore more sustainable and cost-effective energy solutions.

The high electricity costs were impacting the school’s budget, which could otherwise be directed toward enhancing educational resources and facilities for students.

With sustainability in mind and a desire to invest in future savings, Portfield School were provided guidance from Save Energy UK on reducing its energy expenses.

The objective was clear: to significantly lower monthly energy costs, ensuring consistent power availability for the school’s classrooms, administrative offices, and various facilities.

This transition to solar energy represented not only a financial decision but also an opportunity for the school to lead by example, demonstrating a commitment to environmental stewardship to students, staff, and the wider community.
