The Contract - Cost savings and repayments

• LED lasts 5 times more than normal bulbs e.g. up to 15 years in
schools

reduction by 65%
• No lamp replacement cost - reduces maintenance costs by 80%
• Better lumen output and directional light for staff & students
• Sesco ensures that the entire building(s) is funded at the same
time, not required to spread retrofit over long period of time –
maximised savings
• No requirement to engage in procurement/tendering process
as the assets are owned by a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV)

£100 million wrapped up for charities in
energy VAT clause
A third of the UK's 180,000 Registered
Charities are paying too much for their energy,
unaware that they qualify for a reduced VAT
rate of 5% and could be in line for rebates
worth £100 million.
According to the business price comparison
service - 'Make It Cheaper' - charities will have
made a collective VAT overpayment of £22.6
million on their electricity bills alone in 2010,
plus a further £8.5 million on Climate Change
Levy (CCL) payments from which they are also
exempt2.
Charities that have been overpaying VAT and
CCL can claim a rebate of up to three years see our energy guide for charities for more
information. The Regal Community Theatre in
Bathgate near Edinburgh, for example, recently
received £11,000 after writing to its supplier to
point out it had been paying the incorrect rates
for gas and electricity. Gillian Robertson,
financial administrator at the threate,
