Unfortunately you are not meeting your target to reduce your electricity usage
Holidays are almost here! But wait - last year you used 53,000 kWh of gas and 11,000 kWh of electricity in the Spring half term 2025 holidays. Quick - ask your Site Manager to turn off your heating, hot water and electrical appliances to save around £3,500 this year.
Whoa - last week the amount of electricity you use overnight increased. If this keeps happening it will cost you £8,200 more over the next year. Time to investigate, Energy Team!
