Electricity baseload is the electricity needed to provide power to appliances that keep running at all times.
It can be the fastest way of reducing a school's energy costs and reducing its carbon footprint.
For each 1kW reduction in baseload, the school will save 8,800 kWh and £1,300 per year, and reduce its carbon footprint by 1,300 kg.
Period | Average baseload (kW) | % Change |
---|---|---|
Last week | 4.6 | -19% |
Last year | 5.6 | -8% |
