ISV’s partnership with AGL provides our Member Schools who are large market electricity customers with a range of energy solutions.

The cost of energy is one of the many challenges facing schools today. Through this partnership, our Member Schools who are large market electricity customers will be able to harness the benefit of their collective purchasing power, unlocking competitive, volume-based pricing that is generally unavailable through individual purchasing arrangements.

AGL can work closely with you and your school to provide a range of energy options, including:

• Electricity
• Solar
• Battery storage
• Energy efficient LED lighting upgrades
• Electric vehicle infrastructure and leasing
• Telecommunications including NBN and Mobile Gas

As part of its commitment to supporting communities, AGL has entered into a six-year partnership with the Smith Family to support programs that focus on the education and career pathways of children from disadvantaged backgrounds across Australia.

ISV would like to highlight the importance of transparency in regards to commissions and/or rebates received under our contracts.   A rebate of 0.3 cents per kWh of electricity will be directed to ISV to cover costs associated with contract administration.
