Case study

Providence Christian College

Energy Action ran reverse auctions pushing multiple retailers to compete. They added usage monitoring and network tariff reviews to reduce bills. The result — 10 %–30 % annual savings and clear usage insights.

The client

Providence Christian College serves approximately 1,120 students from Kindergarten through Year 12 at its Southern River campus in Perth. The college operates with around 144 staff, fostering a faith-based education grounded in a Christian worldview . It began in 1984 under the name Thornlie Christian Community School, later known as Thornlie Christian College, founded by the Thornlie Church of Christ. 

The Problem

Energy costs were rising and the college lacked capacity to monitor the market.

Management wanted support to secure competitive rates and track opportunities.

They needed clarity on usage and tariff options without diverting time from core education. 

“We’ve had good outcomes from energy action auctions achieved consistently over a 7 years period. I’ve always found the auction process they use very successful, with great results and savings” 
-Stuart Hunter, Business Manager, Providence Christian College 

The Solution

Energy Action held reverse auctions, drawing competitive bids from multiple retailers. They monitored market conditions continuously, advising when to lock in contracts. The team implemented energy usage monitoring via Utilibox, enabling data‑driven decisions on consumption and emissions. They also reviewed network tariffs regularly, capturing savings outside the energy rate itself. A branch manager from Energy Action commented We’ve had good outcomes from energy contract auctions achieved consistently over a 7 year period I’ve always found the auction process they use very successful with great results and savings.
