Deadline to register for DfE Energy for Schools approaching

The Department for Education (DfE) is asking if your energy contract is up for renewal in the next 12 months? They advise that time is running out to register for the DfE’s Energy for Schools service. The deadline is midday on Tuesday 15 September 2026.

Over 1,000 schools have already made the switch, securing significant savings on their energy costs and they are flagging up the next opportunity to access the service from April 2027.

If schools are still unsure, they can read how one trust saved over £78,000 a year on energy costs after joining the service. They advise that it only takes a few minutes to register and could save your school thousands of pounds.
