Energy for Churches
Heating and lighting your church or place of worship shouldn’t cost the earth. Compare church electricity suppliers and church gas today to cut costs and go greener.
If you’re responsible for your church’s utilities, you’ll know how tough it can be to keep on top of bills. Rising church electricity and church gas costs are stretching budgets, leaving less for the vital work your community provides. That’s where we step in.
At Green Light Consultancy Group, we make it simple to compare trusted church energy suppliers, secure fairer rates and even explore renewable energy for churches so you can save money and lower your footprint.
We also support other places of worship, from mosques and temples to synagogues, gurdwaras and community faith centres. Whatever your needs, we’ll help you unlock greener, more affordable energy options tailored to your building and congregation.
We also compare and switch:
Energy for community faith centres
Energy for mosques and temples
Energy for synagogues and gurdwaras
Yes, several schemes provide energy efficiency grants for churches in the UK. These can help fund projects like electric heating for churches, LED lighting, insulation, and even renewable energy systems such as solar panels. The availability of grants changes depending on government schemes and local funding, but Green Light Consultancy Group stays up to date and can point you in the right direction while helping you save immediately with a better energy tariff.
Yes, you can compare church electricity suppliers and gas providers across multiple sites. Many churches and faith centres manage more than one building, and each may have separate energy contracts. Comparing them together can help you find a consistent tariff and avoid costly rollover contracts. Our team at Green Light helps you benchmark usage across sites and negotiate fairer, renewable contracts that keep costs under control.
Yes, mosques, like all other places of worship, must pay their utility bills. The difference is that religious organisations may qualify for reduced VAT rates or charitable exemptions, depending on their status and energy usage. We help mosques and other places of worship understand their eligibility and secure energy contracts that are fair, competitive, and aligned with their needs.
Switching a church or place of worship’s energy supplier usually takes around 3 to 4 weeks in the UK, including a standard 14-day cooling-off period. During this time, your gas and electricity supply will not be disrupted. At Green Light Consultancy Group, we manage the process from start to finish, so your committee doesn’t need to worry about paperwork or chasing suppliers. This means you can focus on your community while we secure a better energy deal.
If your church or faith centre has charitable status, you should normally pay only 5% VAT on energy bills. If you’re being charged the standard 20%, you may be entitled to a refund. The first step is to check your latest invoice. Green Light Consultancy Group can guide you through the process by reviewing your bills, identifying any overcharges, and helping you complete a VAT declaration form with your supplier to claim money back.
