ENERGY
Clear Utility Solutions 0333 344 7749
www.clearutilitysolutions.com/nottsalc-partnership
As a non-domestic entity, it can be daunting for clerks to arrange a commercial energy contract which, by definition, comes without the assurances and protections of similar domestic arrangements. Many suppliers do not offer suitable tariffs for unmetered supplies, making finding a good deal both time consuming and difficult.
Clear Utility Solutions, has recently partnered with Notts ALC and 16 other local council associations to ensure local clerks have access to an easy and convenient energy comparison service which, with minimal time and effort, has been successful in helping them to secure more suitable contracts for their energy needs. Nationally the scheme has helped parish and town councils over £2 Million for their respective precepts and the scheme goal of supplying wholly renewable power where possible has meant that over 1 Million kg kg CO2e of carbon emissions have been prevented.
