Meet the requirements set out by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero and reduce your carbon footprint


SECR Services for the Education Sector

If your trust has at least two secondary academies or five primary academies, you are likely required to produce a Streamlined Energy and Carbon Report (SECR).

If your trust has:

  • More than 250 employees

  • A turnover (or gross income) of £36 million or more

  • Balance sheet assets of £18 million or more

Then you are required to produce an SECR as part of your trustees’ report.

How Clean Green Innovation can help with your trust's SECR

Our energy and carbon audits identify energy-saving opportunities and provide recommendations for improving energy efficiency across your schools. We’ll start by using your data to produce the report, which must include:

  • Your annual energy use in kWh

  • An emissions intensity ratio, which compares emissions data with an appropriate indicator, such as pupil numbers, to allow comparison over time

  • The methods used to calculate the required information

  • An explanation of the measures taken to improve energy efficiency since the last report

  • The previous year’s equivalent figures to allow for comparison

Then, we’ll create an accessible version of the report as a PowerPoint, which can be used to engage your staff and pupils. You can use this in assemblies, tutorials, parents’ evenings and on your website.

We would be delighted to meet staff and pupils to work on an energy-saving strategy together.
