Serving the Church, Serving the Kingdom
Churches across the UK are grappling with rising energy costs and complex contracts that drain precious time and money. But what if there was a smarter, more ethical way to manage your church’s utilities - one that aligned with your values and freed up resources for ministry?
Introducing the 2buy2 Energy Basket – a trusted, church-focused solution that combines environmental stewardship and a simple way to manage your church’s energy.
What is the Energy Basket?
The concept is simple: by joining with other churches in a group purchasing arrangement, you access the wholesale energy market that wouldn’t be available to individual sites. This collective buying power enables more stable, competitive pricing, reduced admin and long-term budget confidence.
Caring for Creation Starts with Your Energy Supply
The Energy Basket provides 100% renewable electricity as standard, powered by wind from wind farms, with options for green or carbon-offset gas.
It’s a practical way to live out your church’s commitment to caring for creation, without the hefty price tag typically associated with eco-friendly energy.
Importantly, environmental responsibility isn’t a bolt-on - it’s built in. You’ll know exactly where your energy comes from, and every church receives renewable power by default. It’s a powerful way to align your energy choices with your net zero goals.
Why Join Early?
By signing up ahead of the contract start date (1st October 2025), your church joins the collective purchasing pool - maximising negotiating power for even better prices. If your current contract ends after this date, you can still join later. While final pricing is only confirmed in September, just before the basket begins, this flexible model allows 2buy2’s energy experts to hedge and secure the best possible rates at the optimal time, offering financial predictability for the next 12 months. The basket runs until 30th September 2028, with the option to extend for another two years.
This approach has consistently delivered long-term price stability, reflected in an impressive 96% retention rate over the past decade in the previous basket run by 2buy2. It’s trusted by churches across the UK – many of whom have stayed with the basket year after year:
“We’ve been in the basket for over 10 years and wouldn’t go anywhere else – it’s saved us time, money and worry.”
