How do I enrol our school?
Please complete the following steps:
- The Head teacher, School Business manager, Bursar or another member of your Senior Leadership team must complete the enrolment form. You will be asked to provide information on your school's electricity and gas suppliers and energy purchasing arrangements. You should nominate a member of staff who will lead on Energy Sparks engagement at your school. You will need to provide their email address so we can issue them with a link to set up your school's Energy Sparks account. Please make sure they know they are being nominated for this role.
- If your school is not within one of our existing areas or groups, we will send you a Letter of Authority to be completed giving us permission to request your energy data from your suppliers.
- If you already have half hourly metering installed (HH, AMR or SMETS2), Energy Sparks should normally be able to obtain your energy data within 2 weeks. You can find out more about our metering requirements in our guide to metering and how to find out what type of meter you have installed at your school. If you don’t have half hourly metering for any utilities, please contact your energy supplier to request a meter upgrade to AMR or SMETS2.
- We will issue an account set up link to your Energy Sparks lead. They will be asked to provide some additional information about your school and will have the opportunity to add further staff and pupils. Once this has been completed, Energy Sparks will then activate the school's data feeds and you should be able to use our full service within a few days.
