Low cost, low carbon energy for schools and academies
After staff costs, energy is the second highest expenditure schools and academies face. AMP Clean Energy’s sustainable energy projects provide an opportunity to reduce energy bills and channel cost savings back into core education resources.

Fully funded renewable energy for the education sector
AMP Clean Energy has been working with the schools, colleges and universities for the past ten years, helping them unlock the benefits of sustainable low cost energy. We can fund, design and install low carbon technologies, requiring no upfront capital costs from the school.
On-site energy generation such as biomass heating and solar PV, delivers secure, reliable, reduced cost energy, whilst providing protection from volatile and rising grid prices. A long term energy supply agreement provides peace of mind with predictably priced energy over a 25 year period.
Unlock the benefits of low carbon energy
Biomass Heat
Around 50% of a typical school’s energy usage goes on heating – and with schools facing unprecedented financial challenges following budget cuts over the last ten years, there has never been a better time to reduce energy costs over the long term.
Biomass heating systems provide low cost, instantaneous and reliable heat and hot water. AMP Clean Energy can fully-fund, install, operate and maintain a biomass boiler through an energy supply agreement.
Key benefits of Biomass Heat
- Low heating costs over the long term
- Low carbon heat reduces schools carbon footprint
- Fully funded new installations removes need for upfront capital
- Schools pay only for the heat they use off the meter on a kWh basis
- Supports educating pupils about low carbon energy and climate change
- Biomass heat is highly efficient, particularly when combined with other efficiency measures
Solar Energy
More and more schools and academies are taking advantage of solar PPAs. Under a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), a solar PV system is funded, installed on the school roof, maintained and monitored by AMP Clean Energy. The school simply buys the electricity that is generated on site.
Decoupling from the grid also reduces exposure to rising electricity prices, providing a more secure and predictable energy future.
Key benefits of Solar PPA
- Reduced cost electricity compared to grid prices
- Predictably priced energy over the long term and protection from volatile electricity price rises
- PPA deals do not need any upfront capital from the school or academy
- Low carbon energy reduces school’s carbon footprint
- Supports educating pupils about low carbon energy and climate change
- Long-term security of electricity supply
Solar PV Buybacks
If you already have solar PV installed, we can buy back your existing system, taking away operational responsibility, whilst selling you low cost electricity as and when you need it. AMP Clean Energy can buy back schemes from 25kW and upwards with no maximum size.
- A cash injection for your business, freeing up finance for other uses in your organisation
- Removes responsibility for operation and maintenance
- Buy low cost electricity from us, as and when you need it
