Parish Buying
The current Energy Basket from Parish Buying is closing on 30 September 2025, and there is a new offer called Parish Energy. Parish Energy is with new providers who offer Green Tariffs (Ecotricity for electricity and Corona for gas) and will require a new contract.
There have been some delays but indicative costs are now available. To get these costs you will need to complete a Parish Energy Expression of Interest Form on Parish Buying. To find out more about the offer, you can explore the Q&A section on Parish Buying and/or watch this video about Parish Energy.
Is Parish Buying always the cheapest option?
Although Parish Buying have worked hard to secure competitive rates, they may not be the cheapest option for your church (some churches have reported high standing charges) so your PCC may wish to explore different options.
Green Tariffs
The National Net Zero Programme have been using an independent company (Turner and Townsend) to assess which energy providers and tariffs meet Church of England environmental and ethical standards. You may wish to use this list of Green Tariffs as a guide as to which other energy providers to explore. It is expected that this information will be publicly available imminently and the list will be shared as soon as possible.
