Understanding energy usage in churches and schools
Businesses and nonprofit organizations have unique energy needs. Schools typically use most of their energy on weekdays when classrooms are full of kids and teachers. They also rely on a large amount of electricity for heating, cooling, ventilation, and to power computers and other electronic devices for students. Similarly, churches require reliable electricity to heat or cool the building and provide lighting during services and other programs like community activities and events.
The amount of energy used by your school or church will also depend on the size of your building, how many rooms it has, how many people use it, and other factors. Call the number on your screen to connect with one of our energy experts and find the right commercial energy plan for your needs.

Plan types
Business owners can choose from fixed-rate and variable-rate electricity plans in a deregulated energy market.
- A fixed-rate plan guarantees a stable energy rate for an agreed period of time, typically 12-36 months.
- Variable-rate plans offer rates that fluctuate each month based on the market price for energy. You have the flexibility to cancel a variable-rate plan at any time.
Energy efficiency for schools and churches
The first step to improving your school or church’s energy efficiency is to assess your electricity usage patterns. You can do this by calculating your energy usage for each appliance. This process helps you identify areas where you can cut consumption.
You can reduce your business’s energy usage in a number of ways, including:
- Turning off lights in unused rooms
- Unplugging appliances after staff members or visitors use them
- Making your students, staff, or congregants aware of energy-saving strategies to help your budget
- Upgrading your HVAC systems and installing energy-efficient light bulbs
